41 What's new in Zabbix 6.0.36

TimescaleDB 2.17 support

The maximum supported version for TimescaleDB is now 2.17.X.

PostgreSQL 17 support

PostgreSQL 17 is now supported.

MSSQL instance names supported in agent 2 plugin

It is now possible to specify MSSQL instance names as part of the connection string in MSSQL agent 2 plugin items, for example:

mssql.custom.query[sqlserver://localhost/InstanceName,...]

Note that in this case no port must be specified. If port is specified, then the instance name will be ignored and the specified port will be used for connection.

Performance counter query updated in MSSQL agent 2 plugin

The performance counter query of the MSSQL agent 2 plugin has been updated, resolving issues in the data retrieval of unnamed (default) MSSQL instances.
