12 Honeycomb

Description

These parameters and the possible property values for the respective dashboard widget field objects allow to configure the Honeycomb 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 Honeycomb widget, please refer to the parameter behavior outlined in the tables below.

Parameters

The following parameters are supported for the Honeycomb widget.

Parameter type name value
Refresh interval 0 rf_rate 0 - No refresh;
10 - 10 seconds;

Note: To configure multiple host groups, create a dashboard widget field object for each host group with an incremented number in the property name.

This parameter is not supported if configuring the widget on a template dashboard.
Hosts 3 hostids.0 Host ID.

Note: To configure multiple hosts, create a dashboard widget field object for each host with an incremented number in the property name. For multiple hosts, the parameter Host groups must either be not configured at all or configured with at least one host group that the configured hosts belong to.

This parameter is not supported if configuring the widget on a template dashboard.

Parameter behavior:
- required

Advanced configuration

The following advanced configuration parameters are supported for the Honeycomb widget.

The number in the Thresholds property name (e.g. thresholds.0.color) references the threshold place in a list, sorted in ascending order. However, if thresholds are configured in a different order, the values will be sorted in ascending order after updating widget configuration in Zabbix frontend (e.g. "thresholds.0.threshold":"5""thresholds.0.threshold":"1"; "thresholds.1.threshold":"1""thresholds.1.threshold": "5").

Examples

The following examples aim to only describe the configuration of the dashboard widget field objects for the Honeycomb widget. For more information on configuring a dashboard, see dashboard.create.

Configuring a Honeycomb widget

Configure a Honeycomb widget that displays the utilization of Zabbix server processes. In addition, change the primary label of honeycomb cells and visually fine-tune the widget with thresholds.
