Changes in 8.0.0

Filesystem monitoring in OS templates

In the AIX, FreeBSD, HP-UX, Linux, macOS, OpenBSD, Solaris, and Windows templates (including the active-check variants of the Linux and Windows templates), filesystem monitoring now uses the new vfs.fs.get parameters:

• the Get filesystems item (vfs.fs.get) has been removed;
• the Mounted filesystem discovery rule is now a Zabbix agent item with the key vfs.fs.get[short] (update interval: 1h), instead of a dependent discovery rule;
• the FS [{#FSNAME}]: Get data item prototype (FS [{#FSLABEL}({#FSNAME})]: Get data in the Windows templates) is now a Zabbix agent item with the key vfs.fs.get[full,{#FSNAME}], which collects statistics for one filesystem only. The other filesystem item prototypes use it as the master item.

As a result, statistics are collected by a separate agent check per filesystem, and newly mounted filesystems are discovered within the discovery update interval (1h by default).

Filesystem monitoring in these templates requires Zabbix agent 8.0 or later.
