In this chapter, we covered all the graphical elements that Zabbix provides and showed you how to use them in an efficient way. This chapter also enabled you to deliver efficient slide shows to your helpdesk, making you aware of the best practices in this difficult task. Now, you probably understood that this part of the Zabbix setup will require time to be well implemented. Also, it is easier to understand for a non-technical audience, and the information provided with the graphical elements has a big impact on your audience. This forces you to be precise and take a lot of care in this task, but this will be paid back to you by providing a lot of powerful elements to use and adding more strength to your argument. All those graphical elements are fundamentals if you need to argue with the business or the purchase manager to expand the business or buy hardware.

In the next chapter, you will see how to manage complex triggers and trigger conditions. The next chapter will also make you aware of the right amount of triggers and alarms that you should implement so as not to be overloaded by alarms, with the consequence of losing the critical ones.
