The Zabbix team is pleased to announce the release of the new version of Zabbix 5.0 LTS, which focuses on security and scaling issues.
The new version has become even more convenient, safer and closer. The main strategy followed by the Zabbix team is to make Zabbix as accessible as possible. It is a free and open source solution and now Zabbix can be deployed both locally and in the cloud, it is also available on the latest platforms, containers and Linux distributions from RedHat/IBM, SuSE, Ubuntu.
Zabbix installation is now available in one click on Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, IBM/RedHat Cloud, Oracle and Digital Ocean, and technical support services are available on Red Hat Marketplace and Azure Marketplace.
Moreover, the Zabbix monitoring system provides a number of out-of-the-box integrations for working with messengers, ticket systems and alerts, and also expands the list of supported services and applications that can be monitored without much effort.
What's new in Zabbix 5.0:
- Automation and discovery: Added automatic detection of hardware components, resources running Windows systems, and advanced detection of Java metrics.
- Scalability: Zabbix frontend is now optimized to monitor 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 based on plugins, each of which implements 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 communicate securely and use secure protocols without affecting performance. Customizable encryption algorithms and the ability to define black and white lists for metrics are very important for those who are extremely concerned about the safety of information.
- Compression for TimescaleDB: Helps increase productivity and efficiency while reducing operating costs.
- It's even more convenient to use: The new web interface is optimized for wide screens, it supports XNUMXrd party UI modules along with other Zabbix UI improvements.
