The possibility of using IP addresses parameter or external check would be treated as an unsupported item, and ignored for other item types by the Zabbix server. 5.3.2.4 External check parameter changes External check parameter handling was

Web monitoring capabilities • Zabbix can follow a path of simulated mouse clicks on a web site and check for functionality and response time Extensive visualisation options • ability to create custom graphs be template members in the same way as items, triggers, graphs, screens and low level discovery rules. If a template is applied to several hosts, all hosts will inherit the web scenarios in the template VMware hypervisor and virtual machine properties and statistics. Zabbix can use low-level discovery rules to automatically discover VMware hypervisors and virtual machines and create hosts to monitor them

Web monitoring capabilities • Zabbix can follow a path of simulated mouse clicks on a web site and check for functionality and response time Extensive visualisation options • ability to create custom graphs tab and, most importantly, allows to define several filters as well as to define the calculation rules between the filters. For more information, see low level discovery documentation. 5.2 Node-based unlikely, but if the new value already exists in the database, the situation will be caught by a check on duplicates. Global macros will be processed in a special way by adding N_ after the dollar

Web monitoring capabilities • Zabbix can follow a path of simulated mouse clicks on a web site and check for functionality and response time Extensive visualisation options • ability to create custom graphs more user-friendly way. It is possible to view the details of these items, triggers and graphs. Check-boxes are enabled to apply mass operations to them. Thus it is possible to enable/disable/delete them be ignored and original key processed. This may be used setting up multiple low-level discovery rules for the same items. 5.15 Item changes/improvements log.count and logrt.count - two new items have

Web monitoring capabilities • Zabbix can follow a path of simulated mouse clicks on a web site and check for functionality and response time Extensive visualization options • ability to create custom graphs cache the result of calculated trend functions. Zabbix server, when processing trend functions, will check the trend cache for the cached result. In case of failure the server will read data from database new third parameter - ’unique short description’, allowing to use multiple instances of the same check on the host.

Web monitoring capabilities • Zabbix can follow a path of simulated mouse clicks on a web site and check for functionality and response time Extensive visualization options • ability to create custom graphs Configuration → Services). 9 Status calculation and propagation rules There are new status calculation rules and flexible additional rules for calculating the status of a parent service based on the statuses statuses and weight of direct children. It is now also possible to set flexible rules for propagating a service status to parent services. Permissions Flexible permissions to services have been implemented

Web monitoring capabilities • Zabbix can follow a path of simulated mouse clicks on a web site and check for functionality and response time Extensive visualisation options • ability to create custom graphs together with exported hosts and templates has been implemented. When importing value mappings, the rules provide options to create new and update existing value mappings from XML. Value mappings can also should take place within several minutes at most. 5.16 VMware monitoring improvements A new simple check to monitor VMware virtual machine CPU ready state was added. For more information see VMware monitoring

Web monitoring capabilities • Zabbix can follow a path of simulated mouse clicks on a web site and check for functionality and response time Extensive visualization options • ability to create custom graphs Zabbix in the Configuration → Templates section. If a template with the same name already exists, check the Delete missing option before importing to achieve a clean import. This way the items that have items were first checked at a random time within their update interval. Now new items and discovery rules will be checked within 60 seconds of their creation, unless they have Scheduling or Flexible update

Web monitoring capabilities • Zabbix can follow a path of simulated mouse clicks on a web site and check for functionality and response time Extensive visualisation options • ability to create custom graphs the parameter field will open a window for entering the code block. 7 Validation and throttling rules New options have been added to item value preprocessing focusing on validation and throttling. New preprocessing is able to extract its value and set it as an error message for the item. 8 Throttling rules allow to process value only if it is changed, thus reducing the amount of incoming data when it’s

Web monitoring capabilities • Zabbix can follow a path of simulated mouse clicks on a web site and check for functionality and response time Extensive visualization options • ability to create custom graphs resulted in the item becoming unsupported, now it is possible to use a new preprocessing rule called ”Check for not supported value” to handle this situation. This preprocessing rule has standard Custom on relative ./ prefix instead of a full path. Example: UserParameterDir=/opt/myscripts UserParameter=check_cpu,./custom_script.sh SNMP item testing When testing SNMP items, it is now possible to specify version-specific
