2.4.0 trigger operator change - old ones no longer supported?

[jkuc]

Hello,

This isn't alpha/beta version feedback, but I couldn't see a better section to post this thread in. While reading the changelog for Zabbix 2.4.0 I've noticed an unsettling statement:

In additional development, the syntax of three existing operators has been changed with the aim of making trigger expressions easier to read. Thus:

• # (not equal) is now expressed with <>
• & (logical AND) is now expressed with and
• | (logical OR) is now expressed with or

Note that the old operators are no longer supported, so the new ones have to be used instead.

Does this mean that all triggers using # / & / | in their expressions will become unsupported upon updating to 2.4.0?
Are you planning to include some sort of conversion in the database update script?
Or maybe I have misunderstood that sentence?

I was thinking about the same. If I check the manuals from 2.2 and 2.4, it seems there is no version who accept both operators.

Either the documentation is incomplete or the Zabbix 2.4 server must replace the operators when starting the first time. If not, then we are stuck on the migration...

@Zabbix Devs:
Please clarify this issue.

So, no one knows what happens? No one migrated to 2.4?

I have done an upgrade and the operators where converted automatically.

Hello Timo

Thanks a lot for your confirmation. One point removed from my checklist ;-)
