12 Item value
Description
These parameters and the possible property values for the respective dashboard widget field objects allow to configure the Item value widget in dashboard.create and dashboard.update methods.
Widget fields properties are not validated during the creation or update of a dashboard. This allows users to modify built-in widgets and create custom widgets, but also introduces the risk of creating or updating widgets incorrectly. To ensure the successful creation or update of the Item value widget, please refer to the parameter behavior outlined in the tables below.

Examples
The following examples aim to only describe the configuration of the dashboard widget field objects for the Item value widget. For more information on configuring a dashboard, see dashboard.create.
Configuring an Item value widget
Configure an Item value widget that displays the item value for the item "42266" (Zabbix agent availability). In addition, visually fine-tune the widget with multiple advanced options, including a dynamic background color that changes based on the availability status of Zabbix agent.
