Zabbix 5.2 RHEL7 repo not showing server or web front end

[cbigler]

I realize 5.2.4 just dropped today, so I may be jumping the gun, but I don't see the server or web front end in the RHEL7 repo. I also don't see the options in the download configurator page.

I'm finding Zabbix just today after dealing with our organization's shutdown of SolarWinds and was hoping to get a proof of concept up and running tonight. Any thoughts?

It seems that Zabbix 5.2 server package for RHEL 7 will not be released. I recommend having a newer OS such as RHEL 8.

Thanks Atsushi, I appreciate that link to the blog. We're running RHEL7 across the enterprise but had a little CentOS8 server carved out for this skunkworks project.

Thanks for posting the link to the promised blog post. I had wondered if the blog post had ever actually happened.

I get why they made that decision, but this particular quote from the blog post really irritates me:

Considering that RHEL 7 is on its way out

There's 3.5 years of support left. RHEL 7 will still be supported by Red Hat when Full Support for Zabbix 5.0 LTS ends. I guess that means that Zabbix 5.0 LTS is "on its way out".

Same blogpost says... "Use 5.0 LTS instead. Indeed, 5.0 packages are available for RHEL 7 and will be supported for some time."
I suppose they stay until one or other runs out of time...
