7 What's new in Zabbix 4.2.2

Item value preprocessing testing

The preprocessing testing form now contains a switch between CRLF/LF end of line sequences for multiline input:

Previously multiline input was sent with CRLF (\r\n) by default, which was incompatible with, for example, Prometheus line format.

Custom headers in web scenarios/HTTP checks

The length of custom header value fields has been increased from 255 to 1000 characters.

Daemons

Warnings about incompatible versions

Warnings are now being logged if incompatible Zabbix daemon versions are used.

Windows agent compilation revision

Generating a Windows file properties revision number has been added for agent compilation on MS Windows. It follows a {b}{t}{nn} format where:

  • {b} - source (1 - feature or release, 2 - tag)
  • {t} - type (1 - alpha, 2 - beta, 3 - release candidate, 4 - release)
  • {nn} - sequence number for the 'type'

For example:

Tag Branch Version Result
4.2.2 Zabbix 4.2.2 4.2.2.2400
release/4.2 Zabbix 4.2.2rc3 4.2.2.1303
feature/ZBX-16074 Zabbix 4.2.2rc1 4.2.2.1301
