Versie 7.4 van Zabbix is uitgekomen. 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:
Discover hierarchical environments using nested low-level discoveryAutomate the creation of low-level discovery rules with nested low-level discovery
- Discover resources on multiple levels such as cloud services, cluster nodes, applications and underlying resources, network and IoT devices, and much more
- New type of low-level discovery prototype entity – discovery prototype
- Nested low-level discovery enables users to automatically create low-level discovery rules on a host
- Unlimited nesting enables users to create low-level discovery rules on multiple levels
- Enables much easier integration of Zabbix with configuration management systems
Automate hierarchical host discovery with nested host prototypes
Utilize nested low-level discovery host prototypes to create hierarchical host discovery
Simplify your monitoring with the Host Wizard
- Hosts discovered from host prototypes can now use low-level discovery to create hosts of their own
- Nested host prototypes are useful when discovering multi-level entities, e.g.: Discover server clusters, where each cluster has a set of individual nodes that also need to be discovered
Managing hosts in Zabbix is now easier than ever before with the new Host Wizard
- The Host Wizard will guide you through all the host creation and configuration steps – from creating a host and assigning templates to installing Zabbix agent on the monitored host and configuring Zabbix server for server-originated checks
- Each host creation step and the related configuration parameters are explained by the Host Wizard
- Choose between manual host creation or use the Host Wizard if you prefer a guided approach
Visualize information about individual metrics with Item Card widget
Present a detailed overview of your items by utilizing the new Item card widget
Extend your network maps with the latest features
- Customize the field visibility and order
- Dynamically update the displayed item by linking the Item card widget to Item navigator widgets
- Display the last collected value and get additional context with a sparkline chart
- Display information about the related triggers, interfaces, error messages and more
Network maps have received various usability improvements enabling easier map management and enabling new network map use cases
- Map link and element labels can now be hidden and only be displayed on mouse hover
- Map background images can now be scaled proportionally to map dimensions
- Map links now support link indicators based on item value thresholds, which allows dynamically changing map link style and color whenever an item exceeds a threshold value
- Map element icons can now be ordered when placed on top of one another
- Host group map elements will now take into account nested host groups when displaying host group related information
Create outstanding visualization faster with the latest dashboard improvements
Introducing various dashboard improvements with the goal of making dashboard creation faster and more responsive
Save time on troubleshooting with inline field validation
- Widget configuration changes are now instantly reflected in the widget without having to close the configuration form
- New palette color schemes can be used for data sets in graphs, making the individual items more distinguishable
- New refreshed layout for the Global view default dashboard
To improve overall user experience and catch user input errors on the fly, Zabbix frontend now supports input validation in various parts of the frontend
- Inline validation is currently supported for Host, Item, Template and Trigger forms
- Inline validation displays clear error messages on the fly for each misconfigured form field
General UI/UX improvements
New UX/UI improvements aim to make your daily Zabbix workflows even more simple
- New Notifications section has been added under User settings for customizing notification settings for the current user
- All users are now allowed to manage their own media by default. These permissions can now be revoked in user role settings
- Preprocessing results can now be copied directly to clipboard by using the Copy to clipboard button
