5 What's new in Zabbix 8.0.0
See breaking changes for this version.
Templates
New templates
- The AWS by HTTP template set has been supplemented with the template AWS Backup Vault by HTTP.
- Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense by HTTP, a template providing monitoring capabilities for Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense devices using REST API.
Frontend
Inline validation in autoregistration form
The autoregistration action configuration form in the frontend now supports inline validation. Input errors are displayed immediately after filling in the fields, improving usability and reducing configuration mistakes.
Importable SAML certificates for single sign-on
Super Administrator users can now import certificates and private keys directly in the frontend for SAML configuration. Three new fields were added to Administration > Authentication > SAML:
- IdP certificate — X.509 certificate presented by the identity provider
- SP certificate — service provider certificate used for SAML exchanges
- SP private key — private key corresponding to the SP certificate
These controls allow adding new values or modifying existing ones from the SAML settings tab. Certificates and private keys are validated before being saved to the chosen storage backend; invalid or malformed values are rejected with an explanatory error.
Documentation
Consolidated documentation pages for minor releases
Release documentation for minor versions of a major Zabbix release will now be collected in single documentation pages for new features and upgrade notes respectively.
Processes
Automatic reload of SNMPv3 credentials
SNMP agent walk[] and get[] item checks now automatically reload updated SNMPv3 authentication and privacy settings when the corresponding SNMPv3 interface is modified. The manual cache reload command -R snmp_cache_reload remains available for troubleshooting and for devices that do not fully comply with SNMPv3 specifications.
Increased maximum timeout for the zabbix_get and zabbix_js
The maximum value for the timeout parameter of the zabbix_get and zabbix_js command-line utilities has been increased to 600 seconds.
Items
smart.disk.discovery — new type parameter
The smart.disk.discovery item (Zabbix agent 2 S.M.A.R.T. plugin) now accepts an optional type parameter to specify a value to scan for the disks.
API
User directory object — SAML certificate parameters
The User directory object has been extended with SAML certificate/key parameters to allow reading and creating/updating SAML settings. New parameters:
