Benefits over Zabbix graphs / screens #89

Open chihoko opened 9 years ago

chihoko commented 9 years ago

What exactly are the benefits of using Grafana over the built in Zabbix graphing tools? I've read through the wiki and most of the Grafana website but except for Grafana being more attractive I don't know what features it has that Zabbix doesn't. I think it would be very helpful to visitors if you had a small section in the wiki.

Thanks, I think it's a good idea.

@chihoko when it comes to Dashboards the prettiness matters. When I want to show something to management or upper leadership Grafana is a much richer, more professional presentation. I also find the implementation is more dynamic and easier to drill down but the one that it one that grafana-Zabbix does that zabbix CANT do is span multiple instances and place them in the same dashboard.

You may be interested in this very crude list I put together. It's mostly a list of know Zabbix graph shortcomings and whether they exist in Grafana. It therefore doesn't cover other benefits that arise!

Well, it should be improved a lot, but like everybody's time, mine is limited too. Feel free to register to the wiki and add to it!

I went through most of the relevant ZBXNEXT that popped up since my original investigation and added to the list accordingly.
