Mastering Zabbix - Second Edition

Visualizing through screens

In the previous section, we discussed adding custom URLs and introduced shortcuts to a screen section. Now it's time to go deep into screens. Screens are easy to generate and very intuitive to handle. Basically, a screen is a page that can display multiple Zabbix elements, such as graphs, maps, and text. One of the main differences between screens and maps is that in maps, you can place a lot of elements, but you can't, for instance, add a graph or the trigger status. They have two different targets. The screen can group all the elements that are common into a particular kind of server to have a complete picture of the situation.
