9 What's new in �����IJ� 1.8.5

9.1 Frontend improvements

9.1.1 Network map improvements

Network maps can now be referenced on the frontend not only by id, but also by name, just like screens in 1.8.4. Adding GET parameter mapname will open the map with that name, for example:

http://zabbix/zabbix/maps.php?mapname=Drag%20and%20drop%20map

If both sysmapid (network map ID) and mapname are specified, mapname has higher priority.

If mapname parameter is used, selected network map won't be saved in user profile - that is, revisiting map section later will retrieve previously chosen map, not the one referenced by name.

9.1.2 Removed Zapcat compatibility switch

Zapcat compatibility switch, added in 1.8.4, has been removed. Instead, expression parser has been reworked to accept Zapcat syntax by default.

9.1.3 Reordered configuration menu

Sequence of configuration menu entries Discovery and IT services was changed to match the one in monitoring section.

9.2 �����IJ� daemon improvements

9.2.1 �����IJ� agent improvements

9.2.1.1 Improved performance

�����IJ� agent performance has been improved, especially on systems with many cores.

9.2.1.2 Unified internal process startup messages

�����IJ� agent now prints internal process types upon startup just like the server does. Example �����IJ� agent daemon startup log:

 943:20110224:111750.848 agent #0 started [collector]
        943:20110224:111750.848 agent #1 started [listener]
        943:20110224:111750.850 agent #2 started [listener]
        943:20110224:111750.851 agent #3 started [listener]
        943:20110224:111750.851 agent #4 started [active checks]

9.2.2 New items supported

New internal item was added to monitor �����IJ� process state. Item zabbix[process,<type>,<mode>,<state>] allows to monitor busy or idle percentage of different �����IJ� server processes over the last minute.

It is now possible to determine how much each of �����IJ� server internal processes spent in a busy state. This should help with evaluating performance, estimating how many poller processes to use and other �����IJ� finetuning tasks.

9.2.3 Process limits changed

�����IJ� daemon internal process limits have been changed. These changes affect �����IJ� server and proxy daemons.

For �����IJ� agent daemon, maximum value of StartAgents has been increased from 16 to 100.

9.2.4 Listening on IPv6 and IPv4

Support for listening on all IPv4 and IPv6 addresses at the same time has been added.

9.2.5 Global regular expression support with proxies

Global (user definable) regular expression support has been added for use with �����IJ� proxies.

9.3 Misc improvements

Added Ubuntu upstart configuration files.

9.3.1 New trigger functions

Several new trigger functions have been added.

• dayofmonth returns current date
• logeventid checks whether Event ID of the last log entry matches a regular expression
