Software-update: Zabbix 7.0 LTS

Versie 7.0 van Zabbix is uitgekomen, een versie met extra lange ondersteuning. Met dit programma kan de status van netwerkservices, servers en andere netwerkapparatuur in de gaten worden gehouden. Hoewel het programma alleen simpele informatie kan weergeven, kan door het installeren van een zogeheten agent op de server ook gedetailleerdere info worden verkregen. Meer informatie over Zabbix kan op deze pagina worden gevonden en hier staan enkele screenshots. Uitgebreide informatie over de veranderingen in deze uitgave staan hier, dit zijn in het kort de belangrijkste:

Synthetic end-user web monitoring

Monitor websites and web applications by defining flexible multi-step browser based scenarios

Faster and more efficient Zabbix proxies

Zabbix proxy now supports fully in-memory data storage for the collected metrics

Choose from Disk, Memory and Hybrid proxy buffer modesMemory mode enables support of edge-computing use casesUp to 10-100x better proxy performance, depending on the allocated hardwareIdeal for embedded hardware

Improved data collection speed and scalability

To greatly improve speed and scalability of metric polling, synchronous poller processes have been replaced with asynchronous pollers

Faster metric polling for agent, SNMP and HTTP checksNext metric can now be polled before waiting for a response from previously requested metricSupport of up to 1000 concurrent checks per poller process

Centralized control of data collection timeouts

Centralized control of data collection timeouts enables better support for metrics and custom checks taking longer data collection time intervals

Define individual item-level timeoutsOverride timeouts on a per-proxy levelTimeouts are now fully configurable in the Zabbix GUI or via Zabbix API

New ways to visualize your data

A variety of new dashboard widgets have been introduced enabling more comprehensive overview of your monitored metrics and infrastructure.

Major network discovery speed improvements

Parallelization support has been introduced to network discovery, improving the speed of host and service discovery by measures of 10-100x

Network discovery now supports concurrent checks within a network discovery ruleSupport of concurrency enables major network discovery speed improvementNetwork discovery errors are now displayed in the frontend

Dynamic dashboard widget navigation

A new communication framework has been introduced for dashboard widgets, enabling communication between widgets

A widget can behave as a data source for other widgets - for example, to display information about a host selected on geographical or network mapsInformation displayed in dashboard widget is dynamically updated based on the data sourceBuild a custom interactive Zabbix dashboard for your use case

More flexible resource discovery and management

Low-level discovery has received a variety of improvements, which enable enhanced host configuration and management flexibility when discovering hosts in complex environments, such as VMware or Kubernetes

Ability to link hosts discovered by LLD to groups created by other LLD rulesAbility to automatically disable lost resourcesChanged the default LLD rule update interval to 1 hour
