Description |
Issue: Right now names of the host objects are consist of several prefixes:
Because of this its pretty common case when very long names are appeared. Here is an example:
Suggestion: The main idea is remove excessive information from the view and keep the functionality of the current one. Current prefixes allows to quickly understand if metric are LLD rule, if metric have a master metric or if metric from a template. But very rarely you need to know exactly names of this entities.
When you hover icons, tool-tips should appear and show names of entities: This icons could be moved to separate column to make it looks more pretty: Also it could be a good idea to make it as enabled-by-default tick-box option in filter section so user could switch to 'old' detailed (current) view in case if it would be required for some kind of debug. Detailed (current) view could be useful when you want to find all the depended items for same master item or find all the items from the same lld rule. Good example is 'Compact view' option from Problems view: This is a concept, not a final solution. So other Zabbix forms should be analyzed and decision made about implementing naming improvements. This naming changes should be applied to:

Sometimes it can get very long indeed i think the Idea of icons is not bad to replace template names etc but i think that using icons with only 1 letter is a bit tooo short things like D , M don't ring a bell for endusers i think icons like LOCAL - TEMPLATE - LLD - MAIN - DEPENDENT would still be much schorter then the whole name and make it more visible if the item is from a template, local or from a LLD item etc ..
since woke is in ... MASTER item could be changed to Main item |
