What information does the Zabbix "dashboard" provide?

The dashboard in Zabbix offers a comprehensive summary view of key performance indicators and statuses in real-time, which is crucial for monitoring the health and performance of your IT infrastructure. It consolidates various metrics and visualizations such as graphs, maps, and gauges on a single screen, allowing users to quickly assess the operational status of their monitored systems. This feature enables proactive identification of issues and supports informed decision-making based on the current state of monitored entities.

While detailed logs of historical events, unacknowledged event notifications, and user management configuration are all important aspects of the Zabbix environment, they are not the primary purpose of the dashboard. Instead, those functionalities are found in other areas of the Zabbix interface designed specifically for those tasks. The dashboard is distinctly focused on presenting real-time data succinctly and effectively.
