Sixth Alpha Version of Zabbix 2.2 Is Out!

Last week Zabbix team released the sixth alpha version of Zabbix 2.2 - Zabbix 2.1.5! This release is not yet feature complete and does not fully represent the expected 2.2 version, though it introduces major features along with numerous improvements.

One of the biggest features that 2.1.5 introduced is a hierarchical structure for global scripts. You can now organize your scripts into sub categories that will be displayed in separate pop-up menus.

Network discovery has been improved so that hosts discovered on different proxies will be always treated as different hosts. This allows to perform discovery on the same IP ranges used by different subnets.

A friendlier trigger expression parser allows to omit optional parameters in trigger functions. For example, trigger function “last(#1)” can be written as “last()”; “last(#1,1h)” - as “last(,1h)”.

Complete Release Notes of Zabbix 2.1.5 are available here.
