Low-level Discovery
Now on top of ability to automatically discover hosts, you can discover file systems, network interfaces and SNMP OID's on hosts.
Low-level discovery provides a way to automatically create items, triggers, and graphs for different discovered entities on a device. You can automatically start monitoring file systems or network interfaces of a discovered device without the need to create items manually. Additionally it is possible to configure Zabbix to remove unneeded entities automatically based on the actual results of periodically performed discovery.
Automatic Host Inventory Population
Host inventory, previously known as Profile and Extended Profile, now can be populated automatically. Items have a property that allow to store their value in any of the inventory fields if inventory is set to Automatic mode.
Web Monitoring by Zabbix Proxies
With the new Zabbix proxy you may be sure your corporate web page, online shop or internet banking system is accessible for customers from different locations. You can set up the monitoring of your web resources or applications from various geographical locations through the use of a remote Zabbix proxy.
Multiple-Interface Support per Host
In the new version you can configure several interface-host pairs in the host properties, and specify which should be used as the default for several item types (Zabbix agent, SNMP, JMX and IPMI). Additionally, you can override the interface on the item level.
Direct JMX Monitoring Support
From now on setting up Java applications for monitoring becomes a seamless task. Ability to monitor JMX without deploying additional software has been introduced in the form of a Java gateway.
Visible Host Name
Visible host name has been implemented with UTF8 support; new macros ({HOST.HOST}, {HOST.NAME}, {HOST.IP}); {IPADDRESS}, {HOSTNAME} deprecated
A New Look
Zabbix web interface has been revamped, sporting a new, shiny login page, design of tables and forms, better layout, usability and more vibrant trigger colors.
Tabs are introduced to allow a better fit of larger forms on your screen.
More Intuitive Front-end
Enhance your Zabbix experience through a more intuitive interface. Access your items, triggers and graphs directly from host/template forms through using the new navigation bar. View details about items, triggers, graphs without a need to dig inside each element.
Change Layout
Arrange things your way. Customize trigger severity names and colors and how trigger changes are displayed. Change layout of elements on your dashboard by dragging and dropping them in the desired location.
Better Network Maps
Have more fun with your maps. Selecting and dragging map icons is now easier and more intuitive, allowing to re-arrange your maps faster with fewer efforts. An automatic icon selection for a new map element, based on the host type will allow you to build your maps in no-time. Assigning multiple URLs for a single map element now will allow you to draw a more realistic map.
Work faster
Improved performance and faster system response means time efficiency for you and ability to manage larger environments. Dashboard performance has been improved reducing the burden on systems with lots of events.
A new optimized mechanism for history syncer and escalation processing significantly reduces the load on your system while allowing to operate with even larger amount of events. Introducing cache for triggers and allocating more configuration items in cache improves operation performance and reduces the load on your database.
