41 What's new in Zabbix 6.0.36

TimescaleDB 2.17 support

The maximum supported version for TimescaleDB is now 2.17.X.

PostgreSQL 17 support

PostgreSQL 17 is now supported.

MSSQL instance names supported in agent 2 plugin

It is now possible to specify MSSQL instance names as part of the connection string in MSSQL agent 2 plugin items, for example:

mssql.custom.query[sqlserver://localhost/InstanceName,...]

Note that in this case no port must be specified. If port is specified, then the instance name will be ignored and the specified port will be used for connection.

Performance counter query updated in MSSQL agent 2 plugin

The performance counter query of the MSSQL agent 2 plugin has been updated, resolving issues in the data retrieval of unnamed (default) MSSQL instances.

New templates

  • Nutanix Prism Element by HTTP, a template set that also includes the templates Nutanix Cluster Prism Element by HTTP and Nutanix Host Prism Element by HTTP.

You can get this template:

  • In ConfigurationTemplates 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 ConfigurationTemplates 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).

Updated templates

  • The template VMware Hypervisor within the VMware and VMware FQDN template sets has been updated with the option to be used as a standalone template.
  • Proxmox VE by HTTP has been updated with new items and trigger prototypes for disk space usage in LXC containers.
  • In the template MSSQL by ODBC, the performance counter query has been updated to improve data retrieval. Both MSSQL by ODBC and MSSQL by Zabbix agent 2 template documentation has been reviewed and updated.
