templates should be grey, enabled hosts should be blue and disabled hosts should be red. is that not the case for you ? |
Comment by Marc [ 2013 Jul 13 ] |
Sorry, just noticed, that I was not clear enough by saying 'CONFIGURATION OF HOST GROUPS'. What I'm talking about are the selection lists which list hosts and templates in the same context. |

Marc is absolutely right, voted ! |
Comment by Marc [ 2013 Jul 13 ] |
Another way to achieve distinction could be to provide separate selection lists for each of them. This would make selection of large ranges a little bit more comfortable. Edit: |

Yet another idea is to group them by type. |
Comment by richlv [ 2013 Jul 16 ] |
ah, i see. grouping might work - see interfaces in item properties |
Comment by Marc [ 2013 Jul 16 ] |
Yes, that's a good idea! |

It's a bit tricky with the current implementation of tween object |
Comment by Marc [ 2014 Jan 04 ] |
The attached patches: modify behavior of getHostsCB(). When there gets no template listed in a (host) combo-box, then the behavior is the same as without the patch - lists hosts without any option group. |

Attached patch: adds tweenbox related modifications. It does not include combobox related modifications from The patch separates hosts and templates in dedicated tweenboxes. Some labels are changed too. A proper patch compatible with This patch is not tested very well yet! |

in some places grouping would be ok, in others separate lists would be better - for example, "copy to" page - |

The problem with this solution is that it still treats hosts and templates as similar entities, when in reality they are completely different things. Ideally, they shouldn't appear together in a single list at all. |

2.2 version from Marc, only implementing the dropdown menu part |
Comment by Ivo Kurzemnieks [ 2022 Sep 15 ] |
Zabbix UI has undergone many changes. There are no more dropdowns (except maybe a few places) and starting from 6.2+ templates and hosts now are separated in template groups and host groups. The labels now clearly indicate what user is browsing and selecting. Whether it's a host or template. There should no longer be any confusion which is which (some bugs still might exist). |
