 Description   

Please elaborate the following small improvements to 4.0 Graph widget:

 

  1. It will be nice if the tooltip is sorted by value by default (from highest to lowest):
  2. Second proposed color is not the best looking maybe?
  3. Since it is possible to hide X-axis, it would be nice to provide timestamp in the tooltip too, not only values. Otherwise, the graph is useless without axes.
  4. There should be another automatic color chooser. Where color is chosen to be more distinct from the first one. As it turns out it's really hard to see which what on the graph. Current color algo should stay as an option.
  5. One of the reasons to hide X-Axis and the legend is to make graph more taller. Why so much whitespace is present under the graph?
  6. When I zoom in with some range selected, how do I actually go back?  I don't see any 'back' button. Zoom out - doesn't bring me to the range I was before.

Will the issue described in ZBX-15252 be fixed here?

plus one on tool tip sorting

This would be a very helpful feature for graphs showing large amounts of systems.

+1 (and vote) from me too - this sorting of the hintbox is very much needed for graphs with many items.

I'd even vote for some buttons at the top right of the hintbox to be able to change sorting, e.g. by name or by value, ascending/descending each and have a default configurable in the general settings.

+1, we are using Zabbix to monitor many dozens of servers and this would be enormously helpful

Comment by gofree [ 2021 Dec 01 ]

I think this one is also worth it

allow new graph widget to filter by a host group

+1 vote. the tooltip shows only the first 20 items. A sort (descending) by values would be very helpful.

+1 for tooltip sorting

+1 for tooltip sorting

Comment by Pierre [ 2023 May 19 ]

I would also need that with ascending order

Comment by Anton [ 2023 Oct 04 ]

Yep, sorting would be amazing!

Comment by Ross [ 2023 Nov 19 ]

Is it possible to escalate this as categorising this as "Minor" isn't really accurate?  Given it's a core visualisation component for all dashboards, the effort involved in breaking out charts when monitoring large a number items (often pulled in through wildcards) so that non-zero values are present in tooltips undermines the wonderful improvements of the chart widget.
