9 What's new in Zabbix 6.2.4
TimescaleDB 2.8 support
The maximum supported version for TimescaleDB is now 2.8.
PostgreSQL 15 support
PostgreSQL 15 is now supported. Note that TimescaleDB does not support PostgreSQL 15 yet.
Possible to build Zabbix agent 2 offline
Zabbix agent 2 now can be built offline. The source tarball now includes the src/go/vendor directory, which should make sure that golang is not forced to download dependency modules automatically. It is still possible to update to the latest modules manually by using go mod tidy or go get commands.
PostgreSQL plugin loadable
The PostgreSQL plugin is now loadable in Zabbix agent 2 (previously built-in).

Extended VMware monitoring
New items
New items are now available for VMware monitoring:
- vmware.datastore.perfcounter[]
- vmware.hv.diskinfo.get[]
Additional discovery fields
Items, used for VMware discovery, now return additional discovery fields:
- vmware.datastore.discovery[] returns {#DATASTORE.TYPE} macro.
- vmware.hv.datastore.discovery[] returns {#DATASTORE.TYPE} macro and
datastore_extentarray.
vmware.vm.discovery output format updated
The vmware.vm.discovery item now returns the vm_customattribute array instead of vm.customattribute. This formatting change has been implemented to simplify further processing of the returned JSON (for example, in preprocessing steps or LLD macros).
Tag reading from VMware
VMware items reporting various VMware tags (e.g., vmware.datastore.tags.get[]) are now supported since vSphere version 6.5 (previously vSphere 7.0 Update 2).
Templates
The template Azure by HTTP has been updated and now includes metrics to monitor Microsoft Azure MySQL servers out-of-the-box.
You can get this template:
- 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 zabbix/templates directory of the downloaded latest Zabbix version. Then, while in Configuration → Templates you can import them manually into Zabbix.
Frontend
Miscellaneous
- Warnings about incorrect housekeeping configuration for TimescaleDB are now displayed if history or trend tables contain compressed chunks, but Override item history period or Override item trend period options are disabled. For more information, see TimescaleDB setup.
