A styled text & HTML panel for Zabbix dashboards.
Turn a wall of widgets into a clear control room - section headers, status notes and linked buttons, with full control over font, colour and alignment.
Features · Examples · Install · FREE vs PRO · Portal · Docs
A Zabbix dashboard is a grid of widgets with no narrative. headerMAX gives it both structure and voice: drop a readable, styled headline, an on-call note, a status banner or a linked button exactly where it belongs - and it renders live, on the dashboard, instantly.
|
Section headers Group widgets under bold, coloured titles so operators read the board at a glance. |
Notes & runbooks Pin on-call instructions or context right where the data is. |
|
Linked buttons Jump to a runbook, ticket or another dashboard in one click. |
Status banners Colour-coded state at the top of the board - green / amber / red. |
|
One-click Examples Ready-made presets - KPI tiles, single stat, gauge bar, throughput. |
Live data in text PRO
Inline Zabbix expression macros - |
 KPI header - bold metrics as a banner |
 Stat callout - one number, big and clear |
 Gauge label - context above a gauge |
 Throughput - inbound / outbound at a glance |
Everything lives in one familiar widget form - pick text or HTML and choose font, size, colours and alignment. Nothing is hidden in FREE: every PRO-only control - the one-click Example presets, the Generate with AI button and each PRO field - stays visible inline, greyed out with a padlock whose tooltip explains it and links to the upgrade.
Under the Content box there is a Generate with AI row. Describe what the panel should show - "CPU utilisation of Zabbix server as a gauge" - and the answer streams into a preview with a live rendering of the panel underneath it. Nothing touches the Content field until you press Use this content; Regenerate asks what should be different and hands the answer back to the model as the starting point.
You can attach a layout image - pick a file, paste a screenshot, or drop one on the panel - and the model follows its arrangement and colours. The numbers still come from your own Zabbix data: every live value is an expression macro, never something read off the picture.
The provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint), its model, tuning, an optional MCP server and a connection test live in Administration → AI General → headerMAX - the same shared section the other initMAX AI products use. FREE sees that page too, padlocked: it says what PRO configures there rather than answering the menu row with an error.
Both FREE and PRO ship as GPG-signed deb / rpm packages from the initMAX repository - apt / dnf installs them and keeps them updated. Same flow for both editions; PRO just adds your personal repo token.
Open the product page, pick your OS and edition, and copy the ready-made command. FREE is fully public (no login); PRO fills in your token once you sign in. There's a feedback box right there too.
→ Open the installer on the Portal
Prefer a plain archive? Every release also ships as a ZIP - FREE straight from the repo, PRO with your repo token - handy for offline or manual installs.
Then enable it in Administration → General → Modules. Done.
