zabbix-hostmenu
Overview
This is the frontend JS patch that allows to:
- add additional External or internal URLs to Host Menu everywhere in the Zabbix Frontend
- (NEW) automatically add direct links to related and in-context graphs in trigger popup menu if any
Trigger menu Features (links to graphs)
By default in Zabbix only links to simple graphs are available. This patch adds links to more interesting looking graphs as well if any.
- Patch will automatically add links to related graphs in trigger popup menu if any (Problems, Events and Triggers zabbix sections)
- Tested in Zabbix 2.4, 3.0 and 3.2
- Zero configuration

Install
Change current folder to root of zabbix frontend: Then run:
[user@centos zabbix]$ sudo patch -p1 -i zabbix-hostmenu.diff
patching file js/init.js
patching file js/menupopup.js
You are done.
Known issues
- This patch adds extra JSON API Call, so menu is a bit slower than before.
TODO
- Make sure that {HOST.IP} and {HOST.CONN} always return main interface
- Remove possible race condition for RPC object (find a way to clone RPC object, help appreciated)
- Extend functionality to Map context menu
