The Zabbix team is pleased to announce the release of Zabbix 5.0 LTS, which focuses on security and scalability.
The new version is even more convenient, secure, and accessible. The primary strategy of the Zabbix team is to make Zabbix as accessible as possible. It is a free, open-source solution, and now Zabbix can be deployed both locally and in the cloud. It is also available on the latest versions of platforms, containers, and Linux distributions from RedHat/IBM, SuSE, and Ubuntu.
Zabbix installation is now available with a one-click setup on Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, IBM/RedHat Cloud, Oracle, and Digital Ocean, with technical support services available on Red Hat Marketplace and Azure Marketplace.
Moreover, the Zabbix monitoring system provides a range of fully ready integrations for working with messengers, ticketing systems, and alerts. It also expands the list of supported services and applications that can be monitored with minimal effort.
What's new in Zabbix 5.0:
- Automation and Discovery: Added automatic detection of hardware components, resources managed by Windows systems, and advanced detection of Java metrics.
- Scalability: The Zabbix frontend is now optimized for monitoring millions of devices.
- The new Zabbix agent is now officially supported: The new agent provides enhanced functionality for the most demanding clients and complex use cases. Its architecture is plugin-based, with each plugin implementing the ability to collect metrics through various methods and technologies. We believe it is the most advanced monitoring agent on the market.
- Significantly improved security: All Zabbix components interact securely and use protected protocols without compromising performance. Customizable encryption algorithms and the ability to define black and white lists for metrics are crucial for those who prioritize information security.
- Compression for TimescaleDB: helps improve performance and efficiency while simultaneously reducing operational costs.
- It has become even more user-friendly.: The new web interface is optimized for widescreens, featuring support for third-party UI modules along with other user interface improvements in Zabbix.
