18 What's new in Zabbix 7.2.7

TimescaleDB 2.19 support

The maximum supported version for TimescaleDB is now 2.19.X.

PostgreSQL plugin for Zabbix agent 2 updated

The PostgreSQL Zabbix agent 2 plugin has been updated for compatibility with PostgreSQL 17 and now uses the new pg_stat_checkpointer system view for checkpoint statistics (previously pg_stat_bgwriter).

VMware datastore discovery

The item vmware.datastore.discovery[] now supports filtering by hypervisor or virtual machine unique ID.

Secret macro resolution

Secret user macro values will now remain masked in locations that support secret macro resolution if they are referenced indirectly. For example, {ITEM.KEY}, {ITEM.KEY<1-9>}, {LLDRULE.KEY} built-in macros used in media types (Script or Webhook parameters) will resolve to item keys containing masked secret macros, such as net.tcp.port[******,******] instead of net.tcp.port[192.0.2.0,80].
