 Description   

I would like to have an option to select a specific item that works as "Host Availability".
Example, I don't have all hosts with a zabbix agent or snmp items type, it's just a SaaS like an SQL server. I only do a database monitor item type.

Additionally, I'd like to see what hosts are not available. The widget it's just a number.

I'm rather surprised that this issue hasn't gained more traction. With the ever expanding amount of things that can and should be monitored through an agentless API query, the more hosts Zabbix users are going to have that show up in the "Unknown" state because this feature is missing. In the Zabbix instance that I manage, most of our monitoring is done through API calls for hundreds of different devices, so the host availability widget is useless because of this missing feature.

Indeed. I switched jobs, I moved to another country, and I still need this.
