21 What's new in Zabbix 5.0.17

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.
