    The new API documentation

      We've moved all the links to related objects to the "See also" section to avoid cluttering the text with lots of links.

        Ok now I see it. It wasn't very clear when I was first looking at the docs.

          We've published the new docs about hosts, host interfaces and host groups. Coming up next: triggers + events and items + history. The rest of the configuration is soon to follow. Stay tuned.
