 Description   

currently it is only possible to add comments to triggers.
it would be also useful to add comments to other entities :

items (for example, cautioning against too short intervals, explaining needed permissions on agent side etc);
templates (explaining it's usage and impact);
hostgroups (adding general group contact info etc).

ideally, this would be coupled with host inventory, so that these entities might gain multiple fields instead of a single 'comment' field.

in that case, ability to customise profile fields would be mandatory - ZBXNEXT-336

Really, REALLY need a comment (note) field.

Comment by Matthias Baur [ 2013 Oct 17 ]

We also would really appreciate if this could be build-in. Especially for items!

Comment by tagwolf [ 2014 Jul 30 ]

Is this still planned? It's a prerequisite for adding custom inventory items and kinda a big feature!

How can I help? I'm good with relational DB's and php.

We already edited our custom fields to store different information. But we need an ability to add comments / relational data so that inventory fields, etc, can be administered via the dashboard.

Comment by richlv [ 2014 Jul 30 ]

item description is already available; template, host and proxy descriptions are coming in 2.4

from that list, hostgroups seems to be the only one missing

Comment by Marc [ 2014 Jul 30 ]

Wouldn't that perfectly fit into 2.4 too

Comment by richlv [ 2014 Jul 30 ]

...to make it come out in 2018

Comment by Marc [ 2014 Jul 30 ]

Common, we're talking about a comment box without macro support/resolving in first place. Macro support might then be a candidate for sponsoring

Also will be good to see comments (description) for Map Icons!

ZBXNEXT-3511 asks for action comment/description

Comment by Jan Ostrochovsky [ 2018 Jul 03 ]

voting for this, especially for hostgroups - to describe what hostgroup is for what purpose, to differentiate it from other hostgroups...

ZBXNEXT-2770 asks for descriptions on individual periods within a maintenance period.
