AI chat widget for Zabbix dashboards with server proxying This widget allows users to interact with AI models directly from Zabbix dashboards, enabling queries about infrastructure without leaving the interface. It supports admin-managed API keys for security and can connect to various AI providers, including OpenAI and custom endpoints. Ideal for teams needing integrated AI assistance for troubleshooting and documentation.
Follow FREE product releases now. If you later buy a PRO product using the same email, the licence will appear in this account automatically.
Install via your OS package manager. Using the initMAX repository (apt / dnf / zypper) is the recommended way - you get GPG-signed updates automatically.
PRO repositories are protected with HTTP basic auth. You need one personal repo token, then you point your package manager at the authenticated URL. A single token unlocks every product your account is entitled to - you do not need a token per widget.

Preserve other settings and transfer existing modules before switching. For images with a ui/ directory, mount /usr/share/zabbix/ui/modules. Do not share a volume between different Zabbix versions.

Replace zabbix-web with your actual frontend container name. Select legacy/ for Zabbix 6.0–6.2, otherwise modern/.
When updating, back up this module and its settings first. Only its own directory is replaced, never the whole modules/ directory.
