matrixMAX
PROMatrix grid of host issues by trigger-tag columns Displays host problems as a color-coded matrix with hosts or host groups as rows and trigger-tag values as columns, and provides a companion detail tile or a popup for cell drilldown. Columns are populated from trigger tag values and rows can be loaded or filtered by host group, host or host tag; you can select severities, hide suppressed problems, and order rows by id, name, severity or manual drag. Intended for NOC operators and service owners who need a wallboard that distinguishes widespread service failures from individual host issues and enables rapid access to the underlying problem and event details.
Zabbix 6.0 - 7.4

How to install
Step 1 · Operating system
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.
wget https://repo.initmax.com/zabbix/release/initmax-release-latest_all.deb
dpkg -i initmax-release-latest_all.deb
printf 'machine repo.initmax.com login token password %s\n' 'TOKEN_VALUE' > /etc/apt/auth.conf.d/initmax.conf
chmod 600 /etc/apt/auth.conf.d/initmax.conf
sed -i -e '/^# Types: deb/,$ s/^# //' -e 's|USER:TOKEN@||' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/initmax.sources
apt update && apt install zabbix-module-matrixmax
rpm -Uvh https://repo.initmax.com/zabbix/release/initmax-release-latest.noarch.rpm
sed -i -e '/#\[initmax-zabbix-pro\]/,$ s/^#//' -e 's|USER:TOKEN|token:TOKEN|' /etc/yum.repos.d/initmax.repo
chmod 600 /etc/yum.repos.d/initmax.repo
dnf clean all && dnf install -y zabbix-module-matrixmax
rpm -Uvh https://repo.initmax.com/zabbix/release/initmax-release-latest.noarch.rpm
sed -i -e '/#\[initmax-zabbix-pro\]/,$ s/^#//' -e 's|USER:TOKEN|token:TOKEN|' /etc/zypp/repos.d/initmax.repo
chmod 600 /etc/zypp/repos.d/initmax.repo
zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh && zypper install -y zabbix-module-matrixmax
One token unlocks every PRO product on your account. If you cancel one product, the same token keeps working for the rest. Rotate or revoke tokens any time from the Portal.

Releases
192.6.3 Latest 2026-09-24
2.6.3
- [FIX] Release capture opens the detail settings dialog on the current Zabbix 7.4 image, which no longer titles the widget cog "Edit"; the step now locates it by class like the clickthrough runner does.
2.6.2 2026-09-23
2.6.2
- [FIX] Show an empty detail instead of a broken widget when the selected host cell has no triggers. The detail controller answered null for a cell without triggers and the host layout passed it to a typed parameter, which killed the whole tile with a TypeError (601 hits on the showcase since 2026-08-24).
2.6.1 2026-09-12
2.6.1
- [FIX] Allow disabling host inventory in matrixMAX-detail without erasing configured fields. Skip inventory loading and macro resolution when hidden; preserve existing display settings after upgrades.
- [FIX] Include every visible problem in cell detail, even when its event tags differ from the trigger's current tags. Keep the preview, primary trigger and detail selection consistent for mixed and event-only host/group cells without additional matrix API queries.
- [FIX] Order detail cards by current problem severity, with active problems (including Not classified) before OK checks. Show the highest-severity event first in both the popup and companion widget.
- [FIX] Stack Refresh above Close in the detail header and reserve fixed 28 × 28 px buttons so inventory content cannot squeeze or clip their icons. Add cross-version regression coverage for light/dark themes and widths from 120 to 1200 px.
Older versions (16)
2.6.0 2026-09-12
2.6.0
- [FIX] Synchronize browser tests with asynchronous widget replacement and Zabbix 7.4 live-editor completion before saving dashboards. Cover delayed scrolling and persisted detail configuration options, which previously raced on Zabbix 7.0/7.2 in CI.
- [FIX] Complete detail labels and help text in all 25 supported languages, including the shared catalogue used by Zabbix 6.0/6.2, and require both widget catalogues in the parity gate.
- [DOC] Refresh reproducible product screenshots and document detail sources, native script controls, configuration actions and problems-only delivery.
- [FEAT] Add on-demand native script menus with one None / Host / Problem / All selector. Default new widgets to None and preserve earlier checkbox/source settings. Zabbix filters scripts by target and permissions and retains native confirmation, CSRF protection and manual input.
- [FIX] Compact and align the detail Inventory fields editor, including the short Show heading, header checkbox, vertically centered drag handles and Add/Remove controls, without stretching gaps across the dialog. Keep drag hit areas inside their cells on older frontends and cover responsive geometry, row reordering and saved order with cross-version regression tests.
- [FIX] Give detail severity panels consistent sizing for OK and problem states, independent of adjacent text length, while retaining safe wrapping in narrow widgets.
- [FEAT] Let matrixMAX-detail follow all matrixMAX widgets on the dashboard page and independently show or hide item and trigger configuration buttons. Preserve selected sources and existing defaults.
- [FEAT] Add an opt-in problems-only detail mode to matrixMAX. Keep OK cells visible without fetching or broadcasting their details, and exclude OK triggers from mixed-cell detail payloads using the existing problem index.
2.5.1 2026-09-11
2.5.1
- [FIX] Forward Execute now from dependent items to their executable root master, deduplicate shared masters and validate the complete chain, host monitoring and permissions. Keep unavailable actions visible and disabled. Add permission-aware item and trigger configuration links to both detail views and recover the action button after a network error.
2.5.0 2026-09-11
2.5.0
- [FIX] Keep Zabbix 7.x matrix and detail tiles scrollable during refresh, anchor the loading mask to the complete tile viewport and preserve both scroll axes when replacing content.
- [FIX] Index matrix membership once, batch detail item and identity lookups, cap hover previews at 10 problems and avoid history-derived operational data for OK triggers. Complete cell details and explicit History actions remain available.
- [FIX] Run the detail tag wrapping regression against deployed CSS on every Zabbix version instead of source files unavailable in the CI browser container.
- [FEAT] Add native Zabbix Services rows with service-only tag discovery, computed service status and a shared service detail in the companion widget and popup.
- [FEAT] Add an optional problem preview on hover with event time, severity, shortened operational data, event links and permission-aware Update actions.
- [FIX] Keep detail headers, long tags, operational data and tooltips readable in narrow widgets and light/dark themes across Zabbix 6.0-7.4.
- [FIX] Align tag search and editable rows, wrap service guidance inside the configuration dialog and preserve legacy detail selection during refresh.
