I also would like to have this feature!
I have a map with redundant links from a firewall to different routers (one link is active, one is standby). Each link has a trigger assigned, so the standby link is coloured grey and the user has a quick overview.
Problem: Even though the trigger has severity "Information", the firewall is always shown with state "problem".

hi jens,

thanks for your support...
i am sure many Zabbix-Users will have some kind of the same interests in handling Alarms with different Severity Levels from different Departments...
The Filterfunction on MAP Basis would give us the possibility to seperate informations and alarms for different Department Perspectives and their Alarms in a huge Company....

Hi ZABBIX-Team,

just wanted again to ask, if you consider to implement such a feature in one of the next Versions?? if YES, Plaese let us know when??
We are really looking forward !!!!

...as we have to handle with different System & Alarm Depths within our company...
Eg. the SupportTeams need to know every detail Systemfailure and must be informed...in opposite our overall NOC just want to know if the function or Service is still available...eg. they do not care about some failed harddisks of a Raid if the business wasn´t interrupted....

PLEASE let us know!!

I'm looking for almost the same feature. In my case it's requested to have an icon highlighted only for higher trigger severity. So an icon with a lower severity trigger should not get highlighted at all (no circle in any colour around).

Furthermore, I would like to see those configurations (filterfunction) per icon and not only per map, as this would increase the flexibility and possibilities of maps.

It sounds like a very nice feature, should be considered for development.

I have "Not Classified" triggers that used only for dependency - no one get alerts about them. For example: When Amazon EC2 Instances are down (they go up and down using scheduler) all other triggers became silent while check against EC2 API show that machine in "stopped" state.

But in the map I see "X Unacknowledged" problems (on the group icon). There is no way to filter this.
Until this problem resolved - Map feature is useless for me.

So this looks like bug, not feature.

I think that's close to ZBXNEXT-347

Specifications: https://www.zabbix.org/wiki/Docs/specs/ZBXNEXT-1124

Created database upgrade patch in development branch svn://svn.zabbix.com/branches/dev/ZBXNEXT-1124

Upgrade patch successfully tested. Small code formatting changes in r35274 .

Frontend implemented in development branch svn://svn.zabbix.com/branches/dev/ZBXNEXT-1124

(1) Current DB version not set in Frontend.

Eduards RESOLVED in r.35675 (dev branch updating from trunk), also new db patch number is increased by server side peoples r.35681

tomtom REOPENED. Versions does not match in r35675 nor in r35681.

Andri, regarding r35681, if you changes DB version in schema.tmpl, then DB version should be changed in defines.inc.php as well.

Eduards RESOLVED r.35695

tomtom CLOSED

(2) https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.0/manual/web_interface/frontend_sections/monitoring/maps
"Recent change markers" also should be hidden.

Eduards RESOLVED r.35673, Thanks for discovery and analyzing lacks in specification!

tomtom CLOSED

(3) Min severity in profiles table should be stored for each map separately.

Eduards RESOLVED r.35611

tomtom REOPENED profiles value is not used when switching through maps

Eduards RESOLVED r.35765

tomtom REOPENED

• have 2 maps
• set min severity Average for first
• go to second map and set min severity to High
• go back to first map, you can see min severity as Average
• hit F5 and min severity is changed to High ... this shouldn't happen

Eduards RESOLVED r.35804 Thanks, it was good idea!

tomtom CLOSED

(4) documentation (haha)

Eduards Documentation will be written after development.
First step: Specification
Second step: Development
Third step: Documentation + Manual + What now + Change log +...

<richlv> whatsnew is there, but it does not mention ability to change the severity filter when viewing the map - should (with a screenshot, too)

martins-v Changing severity on map view level added to: https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.2/manual/introduction/whatsnew220#filtering_trigger_severity_in_maps

martins-v CLOSED. See also (29).

(5) User selection of severity will be remembered in user profiles only if differs from map-level severity setting.

Eduards RESOLVED r.35611

tomtom CLOSED

(6) Map-level severity will be displayed in the drop-down as "<severity name> (default)", for example, "Disaster (default)".

Eduards RESOLVED r.35611

tomtom CLOSED

(7) Also severity filter should be set when clicking on a host and selecting "Status of Triggers" in context menu.
Eduards RESOLVED r.35645.

tomtom CLOSED

(8) If map is inside screen only disaster triggers are shown, though min severity for map is lesser.

Eduards RESOLVED r.35649

tomtom CLOSED

(9) 'Not classified' is the default option.
When creating new map.
I believe that as well for initial DB default should be 'Not classified'.

Eduards RESOLVED r.35642 Regarding last version of specification default value for severity_min field must be 5 (Disaster).

tomtom REOPENED default should be 'Not classified'. Spec should be changed, if it says opposite.

Eduards RESOLVED r.35759

tomtom CLOSED

(10) just another line from specification: "Map related API calls should be extended to support optional map attribute 'severity_min'."

Eduards Seems additional changes in API not needed.

tomtom CLOSED

(11) another line from specification: "Map XML import/export should support new optional field 'severity_min'. It should be set to '0' if missing."

Eduards RESOLVED r.35614

tomtom REOPENED.
trailing comma in CConfigurationExportBuilder.php;
min severity should be placed above fields which represent collection data (arrays);
In import 0 should be set if severity_min is missing.

Eduards RESOLVED r.35765

tomtom REOPENED
In import 0 should be set if severity_min is missing.

tomtom CLOSED. Works OK.

/**
* Get value from data structure.
*
* @param unknown $name

* @return mixed

public function __get($name) {

"Get value from data structure." - This comment says nothing. What data structure, why using magic function?
I believe that according to PHPDoc we write mixed instead of unknown.
Return value should be described.

Eduards RESOLVED r.35611

tomtom REOPENED.
Comment is OK, but input parameter and return value are of mixed type.

Eduards RESOLVED r.35765

Doesn't says nothing about method purpose.

Eduards RESOLVED r.35539

tomtom Good. CLOSED

(15) minor but still there is no need to trash SVN with such a minor changes:
"Get dropdown for application selection."
was changed to:
"Get dropdown for applications."

As well I think that second is in some way ambiguous.

Actual description of functionality missing.
$options parameter missing.

https://www.zabbix.org/wiki/Docs/specs/coding_style#Multiline_function_parameters_and_array_elements

If function expects array then this should be stated, applies to previous two sub-issues.

Eduards RESOLVED r.35539, Thanks, I will control this rule.

tomtom REOPENED. Looks like I gave link with wrong fragment identifier.
What I meant was that array should be stated: "function do(array arrayPar ..."

change
"$i['latelyChanged'] |= ((time() - $trigger['lastchange']) < $config['blink_period']);"
to
"$i['latelyChanged'] |= (time() - $trigger['lastchange'] < $config['blink_period']);"

breaks readability.

Eduards RESOLVED r.35539, changed back

tomtom CLOSED

change
"$hlabel = $sysmap['label_type_host'] == MAP_LABEL_TYPE_NAME;"
to
"$hlabel = ($sysmap['label_type_host'] == MAP_LABEL_TYPE_NAME);"
just few line further

what guidelines you are using?

Eduards This rule is described in two sections:
1) Return boolean expression (https://www.zabbix.org/wiki/Docs/specs/coding_style#Return_boolean_expression)
Example:
function foo($a, $b)

2) And at Blank spaces in line: (https://www.zabbix.org/wiki/Docs/specs/coding_style#Blank_spaces)
...
$result = ($a < $b) ? $a : $b;
...

tomtom CLOSED. I was thinking about use of parenthesis. OK, so we always put parenthesis around Boolean expressions.

(21) Why there is nested structure: "$options['severitiesMin']['severity_min']"? Isn't it possible to use just something like "$options['severitiesMin']"?
class.cpagefilter.php line:253

Eduards I also dislike this place. Variable $options['severitiesMin'] activate listbox functionality in page filter, and $options['severitiesMin']['severity_min'] need to transfer value from request which can be empty. In event when 'severity_min' is empty we still must to show severities listbox.

tomtom CLOSED

(22) new implementation of CSeverity doesn't work with several severity selectors in the same page.

Eduards RESOLVED r.35611

tomtom REOPENED.
When selecting severity in one selector, selected severity in other becomes orange. In dark orange theme.

Eduards RESOLVED r.35765

tomtom CLOSED

(23) If severity switch has to be reworked then it should be created as JQuery plugin.

Eduards RESOLVED r.35611, As we discussed simple way without plugin.

tomtom OK. CLOSED

(24) Unable to create map element with host. "Map image update failed" error in alert. Unable to do further testing.

Eduards RESOLVED r.35694

(25) class.cseverity.php

if (!isset($options['value'])) {
	$options['value'] = null;

Constant representing not classified should be used instead of null, to make not classified by default.

tomtom CLOSED

(26) class.cseverity.php

"#'.$options['name'].'_0, #'.$options['name'].'_1, #'.$options['name'].'_2, #'.$options['name'].'_3," + "#'.$options['name'].'_4, #'.$options['name'].'_5"

this string should be generated in PHP taking severity ids from getSeverityCaption()

easy to accomplish in already existing loop

Eduards RESOLVED r.35800
