27 What's new in Zabbix 5.0.23

S.M.A.R.T. monitoring

Smart plugin, supported for Zabbix agent 2, now provides more efficient disk discovery and allows returning information about a specific disk, instead of all discovered disks. Zabbix agent 2 items smart.disk.discovery and smart.disk.get have been updated. The templates SMART by Zabbix agent 2 and SMART by Zabbix agent 2 (active) have also been modified to incorporate the new functionality.

Templates

New macros allowing to define warning and critical thresholds of the filesystem utilization for virtual file system monitoring have been added to the templates Template App PFSense SNMP, Template Module HOST-RESOURCES-MIB storage SNMP, Template Module Linux filesystems SNMP, Template Module Linux filesystems by Zabbix agent active, Template Module Linux filesystems by Zabbix agent, Template Module Windows filesystems by Zabbix agent active, Template Module Windows filesystems by Zabbix agent, Template Net Mellanox SNMP, Template OS Linux by Prom. Filesystem utilization triggers have been updated to use these macros.

You can get these templates:

• In Configuration → Templates in new installations;
• If you are upgrading from previous versions, you can download new templates from Zabbix Git repository or find them in the templates directory of the downloaded latest Zabbix version. Then, while in Configuration → Templates you can import them manually into Zabbix.
