Key features

Enhance communication with Zabbix users and administrators with customizable notifications. Adjust message appearance using color coding to effectively prioritize information. The three-tiered timing system (“Show since”, “Active since”, “Active till”) offers precise control over message visibility and relevance.

The repeat function automates recurring notifications, ideal for scheduled maintenance or periodic updates. This feature streamlines communication processes and ensures consistent information delivery.

This tool enable administrators to deliver clear, timely, and professional communications, improving operational awareness for all users.

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

In an upcoming version, we plan to introduce support for HTML tags in messages. This feature will allow:

  • Insertion of HTML tags into messages for enhanced formatting.
  • Ability to include clickable links directly in the message bar.

This functionality will enable better text formatting and more interactive message content, improving the overall user experience. Stay tuned for this enhancement in a future release.

FAQ

What should I do if I want to buy a widget in the PRO version? 

Select the desired widget on the product page and click the Get PRO button. You will go through a short checkout handled by FastSpring – you can pay by card, Google Pay or Apple Pay. The purchase is one-time: you get a lifetime license, with no subscription and no recurring fees. After payment you receive an invoice and an invitation to the initMAX customer portal, where you will find the product, issue a repository token and install the PRO edition from repo.initmax.com. Updates and support are included for as long as initMAX maintains the product.

What should I do if I lose my access data for a purchased product? 

Open https://portal.initmax.com, click “Forgot password?” on the sign-in page and enter the e-mail address you used when purchasing the product – you will receive a reset link. Repository tokens can be re-issued anytime in the portal under Profile – Repo tokens. If you no longer have access to that mailbox or run into any issue, contact our support at [email protected] and we will help you recover the account.

What do I need to use the widget? 

A running Zabbix installation – the supported Zabbix versions and the minimum PHP version are listed in the Requirements section of each product page. The widget installs on the Zabbix frontend server as a standard deb/rpm package from repo.initmax.com, so you need root access to that server. No special hardware is required.

How do I get to the product I have purchased? 

You will receive an email confirmation of the successfully paid order together with an invoice. Right after the purchase we create your account in the initMAX customer portal (https://portal.initmax.com) and send you an invitation email – there you activate the account and set your password. In the portal you will find your licensed products, release changelogs, documentation and guided installation instructions. Paid widgets install directly from our package repository repo.initmax.com: issue a repository token in the portal (Profile – Repo tokens) and follow the How-to-install steps shown in the product catalog. Updates are then delivered through your package manager (apt/dnf/zypper).
