Network Topology 5.1.0 is here — out of beta

Network Topology for Zabbix 5.1.0 is final. After the public beta, the frontend module is now stable — and it picked up its biggest changes since the first release along the way.

Layouts that stick — for everyone

Manually drawn links and node positions used to live in the browser. Now they live server-side, in a shared layer and a personal one. So the way you arrange the map is visible to your colleagues too — and it survives a change of browser. Two people editing the same map at once? A revision hash detects the conflict instead of one silently overwriting the other.

Metrics row above the map

Six key figures at a glance, right above the topology — no detour through a dashboard just to see how the environment is doing.

Two new widgets — now five

Two new dashboard widgets join the set: NT KPI shows the metrics as a ring/grid, NT Items shows pivoted item data. Together with Technical, Health and Table that makes five widgets from the same data. Details are in the widget section of the docs.

Smaller helpers

A ghost node can now be turned into a host straight from the context menu. A service port probe tests eleven common ports. And an nt-uninstall.sh shows, on removal, which data remains server-side.

Rename complete (5.0.0)

With 5.0.0 the old development suffix _v6 was dropped everywhere: directory, module ID, PHP namespace and widget IDs are now simply network_topology. Coming from the beta? Unzip the release into ui/modules/network_topology and reconfigure the dashboard widgets once — the steps are in the docs.

Where does it run?

Zabbix 7.0 LTS and 7.4, with dashboard files additionally prepared for 8.0, AGPL-3.0, no build tools required.
