This chapter is going to cover the basics we need to know when it comes to the Zabbix userinterface and the thing we need to know before we can start to fully dive into our monitoring tool. We will see how the userinteface works how to add a host, groups users, items ... so that we have a good understanding of the basics. This is something that is sometimes missed and can lead to frustrations not knowing why things don't work like we had expected them to work. So even if you are an advanced user it may be usefull to have a look into this chapter.

Yet another way to make the screen bigger that is quit useful for monitors in NOK teams for example is the kiosk mode button. This one is however located on the left side of your screen and looks like 4 arrows pointing to every corner of the screen. Pressing this button will remove all the menus and leave only main window to focus on.

Host groups exists to make a logical group so we can add all hosts that belong together in one group or more. Ex all Linux server, all PostgreSQL server, or all the servers that belong to one team.

When going to our menu ```data collection``` you notice that there are ```Host groups``` and ```Template groups```. If you come from an older Zabbix version you will be happy to read that Zabbix made a specific group for Templates. If you are new to Zabbix don't panic :). In older versions Zabbix had mixed Templates and host in one group. This mixing was sometimes confusing especially for new users, as Zabbix doesnt link templates to groups.

When you click on the menu ```Data collection``` -> Host groups. You will notice that some groups are already made. You will also see that there are some names behind the host groups with numbers in front. These names are the names from the hosts that are in the group. The number in fron is the number of hosts that are in the ```host group.``` To make life more easy you can click on the names of the hosts and Zabbix will bring you directly to the configuration screen for this host.

Zabbix allows the creation of nested groups. As you can see we are using forward slashes in our group name. When you make use of nested group you can use the '/' to separate groups.

Once our group or set of nested groups is made you can click again from the ```host group``` overview on the group. You will notice that there is now a box that says ```Apply permissions and tag filters to all subgroups```. When pressing this button, all right that are this group will be applied to the sub-groups. So if we have a user ```John``` for example in a user group that has rights to see everything in the ```Host group``` with the name ```Europe/Belgium``` and we apply the option to the subgroups then our user ```John``` will suddenly see also the hosts in all our nestet groups and the tags on this host.

A user always needs to be member of one or more ```User groups```. We will not set any user rights directly on Users in Zabbix but we do this on User groups. So if a User needs the permission to view or edit a host or a template then this is set on the ```User group``` wich has the permisson to view or edit a host or template group and never on a host or a template directly.
