Description
problemsbysvMAX is based on the standard Problems by severity widget and extends it with several practical improvements. Cells with zero problems are not displayed with a colored background — this naturally focuses the user’s attention only on actual problems. The widget also allows you to configure the counter font size and cell padding, making it easy to adapt to different types of dashboards.

Configuration
The widget offers all the standard settings of the original Problems by severity widget and additionally adds two new fields for visual customization.

| Counter font size | Font size of the number in the severity cell. A larger value is suitable for dashboards displayed on large monitors. |
| Cell padding | Cell padding. Allows you to create a more compact or more spacious layout. |
