18 What's new in Zabbix 6.0.13

TimescaleDB 2.9 support
The maximum supported version for TimescaleDB is now 2.9.
Configuration import
Previously, the import process would fail on a UUID mismatch of an importable entity (host group, item, graph, etc). For example, it was not possible to import a host group if a host group with the same name already existed on the host.
In the new version the import will not fail because of a UUID mismatch; instead the entity will be matched by the uniquenes criteria such as entity ID (name). The entity will be imported, and the UUID will be updated to the UUID of the imported entity.
In another improvement, when removing template linkage (the Delete missing option for template linkage) through the imported template or host, the inherited entities of the unlinked template are no longer removed (template gets unlinked, not unlinked and cleared), unless these entities are missing in the import file and the Delete missing option for the specific entity is marked.
Due to this change, the warning message when marking the Delete missing option for template linkage will no longer be displayed.
Retrieving additional information with docker.container_info[]
The docker.container_info[] Zabbix agent 2 item now supports the option to retrieve either partial (short) or full low-level information about a Docker container.
Runtime commands for profiling
Runtime commands for profiling have been added to Zabbix server and Zabbix proxy.
prof_enable- enable profilingprof_disable- disable profiling
Profiling can be enabled per server/proxy process. Enabled profiling provides details of all rwlocks/mutexes by function name.

HMAC function for JavaScript
A new function has been added to the JavaScript engine allowing to return HMAC hash:
hmac('<hash type>',key,string)
This is useful for cases when hash-based message authentication code (HMAC) is required for signing requests. MD5 and SHA256 hash types are supported, e. g.:
hmac('md5',key,string)hmac('sha256',key,string)
Templates
New templates are available:
- AWS EC2 by HTTP
- AWS by HTTP
- AWS RDS instance by HTTP
- AWS S3 bucket by HTTP
- Control-M server by HTTP
- Control-M enterprise manager by HTTP
See setup instructions for HTTP templates.
You can get these templates:
- In Configuration → Templates in new installations;
- If you are upgrading from previous versions, you can download new templates from Zabbix Git repository or find them in the
templatesdirectory of the downloaded latest Zabbix version. Then, while in Configuration → Templates you can import them manually into Zabbix.

A new media type LINE is now available allowing to use the webhook feature for sending notifications about Zabbix events to LINE messenger.
