THE NEW LTS VERSION OF ZABBIX 7.0 IS FINALLY HERE!

Monitor IT with Axians support

Zabbix entities – Items, macros and functions

The new version brings new items and additional options for configuring macros and features that once again push the capabilities of Zabbix forward.

Items

  • Conversion of floating point type data when storing into integer type items – unsupported item is not created, decimal point is removed
  • Option to count lines of selected type in Windows event log – new item eventlog.count for Zabbix agent/agent 2 has been added
  • New Browser item type – allows complex monitoring of websites and web applications using a web browser (simulation of user interaction). Data collection is done via HTTP/HTTPS and through Selenium tool integration
  • New item types Internal for Zabbix server and Zabbix proxy
  • New and improved Zabbix agent items for DNS monitoring net.dns.perf, net.dns.get
  • New Simple check type items for vmware and icmpping
  • Duplicate Engine ID detection for SNMPv3 – SNMP standard requires unique Engine IDs for devices monitored using SNMPv3 protocol
  • Enhanced item preprocessing capabilities – ability to add multiple steps to detect unsupported status of an item

Macros

  • Possibility to use all types of widgets for dashboards at template level (template dashboards)
  • Communication framework for widgets. Communication between widgets allows you to control the data displayed in other widgets by selecting the data source. The data source can be either a compatible widget from the same dashboard, the dashboard itself or, for time intervals, the widget itself
  • Extended functionality of the Host availability widget. Now allows to display hosts with Zabbix agent interface (active checks) and to display Mixed state (when a host has multiple interfaces with different states)

Functions

  • New trigger expressions and calculated type items – jsonpath and xmlpath
  • Improvements to existing functions
