13 Version compatibility
Supported agents
To be compatible with Áú»¢¶Ä²© 5.2, Áú»¢¶Ä²© agent must not be older than version 1.4 and must not be newer than 5.2.
You may need to review the configuration of older agents as some parameters have changed, for example, parameters related to logging for versions before 3.0.
To take full advantage of the latest metrics, improved performance and reduced memory usage, use the latest supported agent.
Supported agents 2
Older Áú»¢¶Ä²© agents 2 from version 4.4 and 5.0 are compatible with Áú»¢¶Ä²© 5.2.x (except 5.2.0, see known issues); Áú»¢¶Ä²© agent 2 must not be newer than 5.2.
Note that when using Áú»¢¶Ä²© agent 2 versions 4.4 and 5.0, the default interval of 10 minutes is used for refreshing unsupported items.
To take full advantage of the latest metrics, improved performance and reduced memory usage, use the latest supported agent 2.
Supported Áú»¢¶Ä²© proxies
To be compatible with Áú»¢¶Ä²© 5.2, the proxy must be of the same major version; thus only Áú»¢¶Ä²© 5.2.x proxies can work with Áú»¢¶Ä²© 5.2.x server.
It is no longer possible to start the upgraded server and have older, yet unupgraded proxies report data to a newer server. This approach, which was never recommended nor supported by Áú»¢¶Ä²©, now is officially disabled, as the server will ignore data from unupgraded proxies. See also the upgrade procedure.
Warnings about using incompatible Áú»¢¶Ä²© daemon versions are logged.
Supported XML files
XML files not older than version 1.8 are supported for import in Áú»¢¶Ä²© 5.2.
In the XML export format, trigger dependencies are stored by name only. If there are several triggers with the same name (for example, having different severities and expressions) that have a dependency defined between them, it is not possible to import them. Such dependencies must be manually removed from the XML file and re-added after import.
