12 Upgrade notes for 5.0.2
Latest data
In the latest data page:
- Sorting by Last check has been removed
- Expanding/collapsing applications is not available (it is available again in Zabbix 5.0.3)
Regular expression support in user macro context
Regular expressions are now supported in user macro context, using the following syntax:
{$MACRO:regex:"regular expression"}If existing macros have the unlikely regex:something string in the
context, they will not be automatically converted to
regex:"^quoted something$". The change would have to be done manually.
See user macros with context for more information.
EnableRemoteCommands deprecated/unsupported by agents
The EnableRemoteCommands agent parameter is now:
- deprecated by Zabbix agent
- unsupported by Zabbix agent2
Use the AllowKey/DenyKey parameters instead.
Enhanced URL widget security
The URL dashboard widget and the URL screen element now put retrieved
URL content into the sandbox. By default, all sandbox restrictions are
enabled. It is possible to modify sandbox attribute settings in the
defines.inc.php file, however turning sandboxing off is not
recommended for security reasons. To learn more about the sandbox
attribute, please see the
sandbox
section of the iframe HTML element description.
