Part 81: Thanks, initMAX! Now testing new custom widgets
Zabbix 7.0 custom widgets game is on! The wonderful team at initMAX gave me access to Pro versions of their new Zabbix 7.0 widgets, so of course I'm now testing them in my own style. The first widget I got my hands on is Message of the Day.
Part 59: I created my first Zabbix 7.0 custom widget
As Zabbix 7.0 will come with the new widget framework, allowing communication between different widgets on dashboards, of course I had to try it out.
Creating the module
The blog post title is a bit of a clickbait in a sense that this example is just 1:1 from Zabbix Summit 2023 custom widgets workshop session. I made some very, very minor modifications to code, mainly just changed my name and so on to manifest.json files. Since the code itself was obtained from the workshop session, I'm not going to publish it, but this much I will tease:
