13 What's new in Zabbix 6.0.8

Month abbreviated with capital letter

A "month" is now abbreviated with the capital "M" in the frontend. Previously it was abbreviated with the small "m", overlapping with the abbreviation of a minute.

TimescaleDB 2.7 support

The maximum supported version for TimescaleDB is now 2.7.

Templates

A new template OPNsense by SNMP is available.

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).

RHEL packages renamed

RHEL packages have been renamed by adding a "release" word in the name:

Naming Package name
Old zabbix-agent-6.0.7-1.el9.x86_64.rpm
New zabbix-agent-6.0.8-release1.el9.x86_64.rpm

There is no functional change associated with this change.

This is necessary as preparation for providing packages of minor version (i.e. 6.0.x) release candidates, expected to start with 6.0.9. The naming change will ensure that for someone who has both stable and unstable repositories enabled on their system, repository updates will be received in the correct order. This naming change is for RHEL packages only.
