Zabbix 1.6.9 released
ZABBIX SIA is proud to announce the availability of ZABBIX 1.6.9.
ZABBIX is an enterprise-class open source distributed monitoring solution. ZABBIX is released under the GPL, thus it is free of charge for both commercial and non-commercial use. A complete text of the license is available at http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.txt.
It is recommended to upgrade from previous releases of 1.6.x. Existing users of 1.6.x and new users should consider using the latest ZABBIX 1.8.x.
This document contains the release notes for ZABBIX 1.6.9.
The following sections describe the release in details and provide late-breaking or other information that supplements its main documentation.
It is recommended to create the following indexes in order to speed up performance of ZABBIX front-end as well as server side (ignore it if the indexes already exist):
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX history_log_2 on history_log (itemid,id);
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX history_text_2 on history_text (itemid,id);
CREATE INDEX graphs_items_1 on graphs_items (itemid);
CREATE INDEX graphs_items_2 on graphs_items (graphid);
CREATE INDEX services_1 on services (triggerid);
