8 What's new in Zabbix 6.0.3

PostgreSQL metrics

A new item has been added to PostgreSQL plugin for Zabbix agent 2. The metric pgsql.queries is used for monitoring query execution time.

Templates

A new template OpenWeatherMap by HTTP is now available allowing to monitor OpenWeatherMap via HTTP. See HTTP template operation for setup instructions.

The following changes have been made in the existing templates:

• In the templates Windows services by Zabbix agent, Windows services by Zabbix agent active, Windows by Zabbix agent, Windows by Zabbix agent active {$SERVICE.NAME.NOT_MATCHES} macro value has been updated to filter out an extended list of services.

• The template PostgreSQL by Zabbix agent 2 now will check the number of slow queries and generate a problem if the amount exceeds a threshold.

You can get these templates:

• In Configuration → Templates in new installations;
• When upgrading from previous versions, the latest templates can be downloaded from the Zabbix Git repository and manually imported into Zabbix in the Configuration → Templates section. If a template with the same name already exists, check the Delete missing option before importing to achieve a clean import. This way the items that have been excluded from the updated template will be removed (note that history of the deleted items will be lost).
