11 What’s new in Zabbix 5.4.6

InfluxDb monitoring

A template InfluxDB by HTTP is now available for out-of-the-box monitoring of InfuxDB via HTTP.

You can get this template:

  • In ConfigurationTemplates in new installations;
  • If you are upgrading from previous versions, you can download new templates from Zabbix Git repository or find them in the templates directory of the downloaded latest Zabbix version. Then, while in ConfigurationTemplates you can import them manually into Zabbix.

Items

The vmware.eventlog[] item for VMware monitoring, when used with the ‘skip’ option, e. g. vmware.eventlog[<url>,skip] now behaves differently after being recreated (i.e. previous item removed, new one created with a different internal ID) - now the internal events cache is reset and only new events are read. Previously, the skip option would not be enforced in this scenario.
