13 What's new in Zabbix 1.8.11

13.1 Frontend improvements

Global script error messages now suggest possible causes of the problem.

13.1.1 Updated translations

  • Brazilian Portuguese
  • French
  • Japanese

13.2 Daemon improvements

  • Added support for individual CPU statistics in system.cpu.util item on FreeBSD
  • Support for all data types in SNMP dynamic indexes has been added
  • Added possibility to remove a discovered host from "Discovered hosts" group by action
  • Previously, Zabbix daemons used a hardcoded priority of 5. Starting with 1.8.11, default or user specified priority is used without any overrides on the Zabbix side
  • Unused options TrendCacheSize and CacheUpdateFrequency have been removed from Zabbix proxies
  • Error messages for missing SNMP instances are now more user friendly
  • Unneeded information like user history for nodes and web monitoring items for proxies is not synchronised to them anymore
  • Command line arguments that exceed 2KB are now supported in proc.num and proc.mem checks on Linux
