Overview

In this section you can see a high-level status of whole services that have been configured in Zabbix, based on your infrastructure.

A service may be a hierarchy consisting of several levels of other services, called "child" services, which are attributes to the overall status of the service (see also an overview of the service monitoring functionality.)

The main categories of service status are OK or Problem, where the Problem status is expressed by the corresponding problem severity name and color.

While the view mode allows to monitor services with their status and other details, you can also configure the service hierarchy in this section (add/edit services, child services) by switching to the edit mode.

To switch from the view to the edit mode (and back) click on the respective button in the upper right corner:

  • - view services
  • - add/edit services, and child services

Note that access to editing depends on user role settings.
