#### Configuration

![](../../../../../../assets/en/manual/web_interface/frontend_sections/monitoring/web_monitoring.png){width="600"}

::: noteclassic
In cases when a user does not have permission to access certain widget elements, that element's name will appear as *Inaccessible* during the widget's configuration.
This results in *Inaccessible Item, Inaccessible Host, Inaccessible Group, Inaccessible Map, and Inaccessible Graph* appearing instead of the "real" name of the element.
:::

In addition to the parameters that are [common](/manual/web_interface/frontend_sections/dashboards/widgets#common-parameters) for all widgets, you may set the following specific options:

|   |   |
|--|--------|
|*Host groups*|Select host groups to display in the widget.<br>Alternatively, select a compatible widget as the [data source](/manual/web_interface/frontend_sections/dashboards/widgets/#dynamic-parameters) for host groups.<br>This field is auto-complete, so starting to type the name of a group will offer a dropdown of matching groups.<br>Specifying a parent host group implicitly selects all nested host groups.<br>Host data from these host groups will be displayed in the widget; if no host groups are entered, all host groups will be displayed.<br>This parameter is not available when configuring the widget on a [template dashboard](/manual/config/templates/template#adding-dashboards).|
|*Exclude host groups*|Select host groups to hide from the widget.<br>This field is auto-complete, so starting to type the name of a group will offer a dropdown of matching groups.<br>Specifying a parent host group implicitly selects all nested host groups.<br>Host data from these host groups will not be displayed in the widget. For example, hosts 001, 002, 003 may be in Group A and hosts 002, 003 in Group B as well. If we select to *show* Group A and *exclude* Group B at the same time, only data from host 001 will be displayed in the dashboard.<br>This parameter is not available when configuring the widget on a [template dashboard](/manual/config/templates/template#adding-dashboards).|
|*Hosts*|Select hosts to display in the widget.<br>Alternatively, select a compatible widget or the dashboard as the [data source](/manual/web_interface/frontend_sections/dashboards/widgets/#dynamic-parameters) for hosts.<br>This field is auto-complete, so starting to type the name of a host will offer a dropdown of matching hosts.<br>If no hosts are entered, all hosts will be displayed.<br>This parameter is not available when configuring the widget on a [template dashboard](/manual/config/templates/template#adding-dashboards).|
|*Scenario tags*|Specify tags to limit the number of web scenarios displayed in the widget.<br>It is possible to include as well as exclude specific tags and tag values. Several conditions can be set. Tag name matching is always case-sensitive.<br><br>There are several operators available for each condition:<br>**Exists** - include the specified tag names;<br>**Equals** - include the specified tag names and values (case-sensitive);<br>**Contains** - include the specified tag names where the tag values contain the entered string (substring match, case-insensitive);<br>**Does not exist** - exclude the specified tag names;<br>**Does not equal** - exclude the specified tag names and values (case-sensitive);<br>**Does not contain** - exclude the specified tag names where the tag values contain the entered string (substring match, case-insensitive).<br><br>There are two calculation types for conditions:<br>**And/Or** - all conditions must be met, conditions having the same tag name will be grouped by the *Or* condition;<br>**Or** - enough if one condition is met.|
|*Show hosts in maintenance*|Include hosts that are in maintenance in the statistics.<br>This parameter is labeled *Show data in maintenance* when configuring the widget on a [template dashboard](/manual/config/templates/template#adding-dashboards).|

#### Web monitoring widget

Once you have completed the configuration, you might like to see the widget with the data it displays.
To do it, go to *Dashboards*, click on the name of a dashboard where you created the widget.

In this example, you can see the widget named "Zabbix frontend" displaying the status of the web monitoring for three host groups:
"Internal network," "Linux servers," and "Web servers."

![](../../../../../../assets/en/manual/web_interface/frontend_sections/monitoring/web_monitoring_2.png)

A web monitoring widget displays the following information:

- a name of a widget; below it, there are four columns:
  -  *Host group* - displays a list of host groups that contain hosts having web scenarios configured;
  -  *Ok* - displays a number of web scenarios (in green color) when two conditions are observed:
     - Zabbix has collected the latest data for a web scenario(s);
     - all steps that were configured in a [web scenario](/manual/web_monitoring/example#scenario) are in "Ok" *[Status](/manual/web_monitoring/example#check-the-results)*.
  -  *Failed* - displays a number of web scenarios (in red color), which have some failed steps:
     - click on the host name, and it will open a new window; the *Status* column provides detailed information (in red color) on the step
       where Zabbix failed to collect the data; and also,
     - gives a hint for the parameter that has to be corrected in the [configuration form](/manual/web_monitoring/example#scenario).

![](../../../../../../assets/en/manual/web_interface/frontend_sections/monitoring/web_monitoring_3.png){width="600"}

  -  *Unknown* - displays a number of web scenarios (in grey color) for which Zabbix has neither collected data,
     nor has an information about the failed steps.

##### Viewing the status and data

Clickable links in the widget allow to easily navigate and quickly acquire a full information on each web scenario.
Thus, to view:

-  the [Status](/manual/web_monitoring/example#check-the-results) of a web scenario, click on the name of a host group.
-  more detailed statistics, click on the scenario name. In this example it is "Zabbix frontend".
-  the details in the case of *Failed* status, click on a host group name; in the window that opens,
   click on a web scenario name in the *Name* column; it will open more detailed information on the configured steps for which Zabbix failed to collect the data.

![](../../../../../../assets/en/manual/web_interface/frontend_sections/monitoring/web_monitoring_5.png){width="600"}

Now, you can return to the [web scenario configuration form](/manual/web_monitoring/example#scenario) and correct your settings.

To view the details in the case of *Unknown* status, you can repeat the same steps as explained for *Failed*.

::: noteimportant
At the first monitoring instance, a web scenario is always displayed in *Unknown* state,
which is switched to *Failed* or *Ok* state right after the first check.
In the case when a host is monitored by the proxy,
the status change occurs in accordance with the data collection frequency configured on the proxy.
