Item value

The following parameters are supported if Data is set to “Item value”.

The first number in the Thresholds property name (e.g. columnsthresholds.color.0.0) references the column for which thresholds are configured, while the second number references threshold place in a list, sorted in ascending order. However, if thresholds are configured in a different order, the values will be sorted in ascending order after updating widget configuration in Zabbix frontend (e.g. "threshold.threshold.0":"5""threshold.threshold.0":"1"; "threshold.threshold.1":"1""threshold.threshold.1": "5").

Parametertypenamevalue
Item1columns.item.0Valid item name.
