The new release of Zabbix comes with significant improvements in usability, security and integration. The main strategy that the entire team of the company adheres to is to make Zabbix as accesible as possible - a free open-source monitoring solution that can be implemented in its own infrastructure as well as in the cloud. It is available on the latest releases of platforms, containers and Linux distributions from RedHat/IBM, SuSE, Ubuntu. Zabbix single-click implementation is now available on Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, IBM/RedHat Cloud, Oracle and Digital Ocean. Zabbix technical support services are also offered at Red Hat and Azure Marketplace.
In addition, the Zabbix monitoring tool provides the possibility of integration with messengers, ticketing and alert systems. The new release has expanded the list of supported services and applications that can be effortlessly monitored.
Learn about some of the new features:
- Automation and browsing. The new version of Zabbix comes with an improved automation feature. The new version has added automatic detection of hardware components, Windows-related resources, and enhanced detection of Java metrics.
- Scalability. The Zabbix user interface has been optimized for easier monitoring of millions of devices.
- The new Zabbix monitoring agent was given "officially supported“ status. The new extensible agent provides advanced features for the most demanding customers and for comprehensive use cases. It is based on a plugin architecture with the ability to collect metric data using a variety of methods and technologies. Zabbix is convinced that it is the most advanced monitoring agent on the market.
- Significant security enhancement. New enhancements ensure that all Zabbix components communicate in a secure manner and also use secure protocols for outbound communication, without any performance impact. Configurable ciphers and the ability to define "blacklists" and "whitelists" for metrics are critical for those using Zabbix in highly sensitive environments.
- Compression for TimescaleDB. Compressing metric history data helps increase performance and efficiency while reducing operating costs.
- Usability improvements. The new version is optimized for widescreen displays and, among other UI improvements, also brings support for extending the user interface (UI) with custom modules or other manufacturers.
