With all the snow outside, Zabbix developers have been busy indoors, working on neat features for Zabbix 2.0. While many of those are low level and don’t result in visually pleasing screenshots, just today a significant change was merged to cutting edge development branch – trunk.
Here are just a couple of screenshots regarding those changes – how many new features can you spot?

Hint – the dashboard might have a semi-hidden new feature in there…
If you feel like trying these out yourself, grab and compile a checkout of trunk, or try out the latest development snapshot – but keep in mind that this is a very, very early version of what Zabbix 2.0 is supposed to be, and there are likely to be lots of bugs in there. If you find some, make sure to report them after verifying that they are not already reported (or even fixed).
Looking good!
I’ve tried. Cute, but there is something else to improve.
Congrats for the designers 😉
Please don’t forget to give some love to the Action conditions setup !
additional interfaces!! And hierarchical groups! Great!!!! At this moment, we locally resolve this problem by using DNS field as second IP interface (adding makro per host is too time-consuming and require dedicated triggers)
I’m very curies about possibility of creating triggers for unrechability of more then one interfaces on the same devices in 2.0…
OK, I looked again.. There is no hierarchical grups 🙁
What a shame 🙁
I really like the added column on the dashboard.
But in the host screen, we will get a total of 6 layers of menu… Seems a bit ineffective…
Kinda like having too many toolbars in you browser. That said, imagine if someone has alot of toolbars plus those 6 layers of menu…
Color scheme is refreshing, but it might get old fast.
I apologize if I seem critical, but I love Zabbix and I want to see it kick a$$!
Cheers!
hmm. could you point at those 6 levels ? i just can’t find that many 😉
Agreed w/ Qwerty_Logic: I’m a bigger fan of “brutally simple” than “shiny”. Examples, new Sourceforge > old Sourceforge, Google > Bing, Proxmox > *, etc.
I hate to say it but shiny is important here. We like the idea of Zabbix but the front end could be much cleaner and prettier, especially the HUD dashboard that would be on display. Simple (in a minimalistic design sense) is also important, just looking for clean edges.
