Network devices(Zabbix Module) widget for Zabbix

A Zabbix dashboard widget that displays network devices (switches, routers) with their interfaces, status, and active problems. Devices are ordered by number of interfaces (most interfaces first).

Requirements

• Zabbix 7.0 or later (module/widget API)
• Hosts with net.if.* items for interface status and traffic (e.g. SNMP templates)

Features

• Host groups and hosts: Filter by host groups and/or specific hosts. Selecting only host groups shows all hosts in those groups.
• Display modes: List or Cards layout.
• Interfaces: Compact view with status squares (green/red). Click a square for tooltip with name, status, traffic (In/Out), and a link to Latest data.
• Incidents: Badges per severity next to each device name; link to Problems filtered by host.
• Ordering: Devices are sorted by number of interfaces (descending).
• Footer: Same style as the native Problems widget (“Showing X device(s) | Host list | Problems”).
