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.
