6.0 – 7.4
Min. supported PHP version

Key features
Message of the Day displays planned maintenance, incidents and other important announcements to every signed-in Zabbix user. Administrators control the content, colours, display window and active interval, and can filter, enable, disable or delete messages.
PRO additionally supports recurrence by days, weeks, months or years, ending on a date or after a selected number of occurrences, and HTML content for links and emphasis. One package supports Zabbix 6.0 – 7.4.
Message bar
Displays important notifications at the top of all application pages, including the message content with ‘Active since’ and ‘Active till’ dates. While closable, it reappears on page reload, ensuring critical information is not missed. This persistent behavior prevents users from claiming unawareness of important events.
Administration
The administration interface, accessible to users with Super Admin rights, provides a dedicated platform for managing message events within the system. It offers a clear overview of all configured notifications.
Users can efficiently organize and locate messages using filters for name, state (Any, Active, Approaching, Expired), and status (All, Enabled, Disabled). This functionality allows for quick access to relevant messages, including the ability to view and manage disabled notifications directly from the status column.
Repeat messages
The repeat option enables scheduling of regular, repeating messages. When activated, it offers flexible configuration:
Set the frequency of repetition, choosing from daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly intervals. Fine-tune by specifying the number of days, weeks, months, or years between occurrences.
Define the duration of the recurring message series. Choose to repeat indefinitely, set a specific end date, or limit to a certain number of occurrences.
HTML tags support
PRO supports HTML tags in messages. It provides:
- Insertion of HTML tags into messages for enhanced formatting.
- Ability to include clickable links directly in the message bar.
HTML provides richer formatting, clickable links and more interactive message content.
How it looks in practice
A planned maintenance banner over a live dashboard – red while active, with the active-since and active-till times on the right, on every page for every user. The message list shows what is active, announced ahead of time or disabled.
Repeating messages, a show-since window and HTML in the body are PRO; the message list, the edit form and every field are in the product wiki.
