 Description   

I'm not sure whether I'm right, but will share my thoughts.
When you create the Item, you have access to all types of interfaces. I think depending on the Item type selection (Agent, SNMPx, IPMI) GUI should filter available interfaces.
For the other Item types may show all interfaces - I do not know.

And in general, what influences the type of interface?

And one more thing - for the Item type of SNMPx, I think we can hide the "Select" button for Items key helper. Maybe for some others too.

Oleksiy, we plan to make significant usability review of Zabbix GUI before release of Zabbix 2.0. I do hope that such issues will be handled there. It will be done for all forms and pages in both monitoring and admin parts.

Interesting how this issue could be closed as fixed (2012 Jan 25 12:48) if both my thoughts have been not implemented in the umbrella dev branch ZBXNEXT-903 (resolved at 2012 Jan 28 14:59) ?

<Eduard> Both? RESOLVED

<zalex> Yes, both! Read summary please:
1. Show only suitable interface(s) in the list of available interfaces.
2. Hide "Key" button for some item types.

1. Unresolved
2. tested r25098.
Select button should be available for "SNMP trap"
Should be reviewed list of item types where Select button should not be available.
For instance: for Database monitor, Zabbix trapper, External check, SSH agent, Telnet agent, JMX agent, Calculated I think the button could be hidden.
REOPENED

<Vedmak> Seems now both are fixed CLOSED

<zalex> Tested r25240 of ZBXNEXT-903
2. is fixed. Thanks, CLOSED
1. "Show only suitable interface(s) in the list of available interfaces." still is UNRESOLVED
REOPENED

<Vedmak> hmm, what list do you mean, in item form or somewhere else? Now in item form only suitable interface are shown depending on item type.

<zalex> yes, exactly. I mean list of available interfaces in the item edit/creation form. I still see all interfaces (different) for any item type. The same for latest trunk and latest ZBXNEXT-903 dev branch, just retested them again. I'm using Opera for Linux.

<Vedmak> So for example for SNMPv1 item type you can select Agent interface in dropdown?

<zalex> yes, exactly.

<zalex> So it seems it depends on browser, not working in:
Chromium (at least 6.0.3 in Linux)
Opera 11.52-61 (linux&windows)
IE8
Safari 5.1.2 <- the latest at the moment (windows)

<Eduard> RESOLVED

<zalex> Successfully tested in all possible browsers. It works, and I like how it works. TESTED.
Note (not a bug, just a note): only in the Opera and IE when I selected the "Type" dropdown and then I use keyboard up-down buttons to change item type -> I see how whole item form changes, including available interface, etc. In other bowers I have to use only mouse to see how the form changes.

<Vedmak> CLOSED
