Good morning, everyone! It’s Dimitri Bellini, and welcome back to Quadrata, my channel dedicated to the world of open-source IT. It’s an exciting week because our good friend, Zabbix, has just rolled out a major new version: Zabbix 7.4! After months of hard work from the Zabbix team, this release is packed with features that will change the way we monitor our infrastructure. So, let's dive in together and explore what’s new.
Let's start with what I consider the most mind-bending, "centrifugal" new feature: nested low-level discovery (LLD). Until now, LLD was fantastic for discovering objects like file systems or network interfaces on a host. But we couldn't go deeper. If you discovered a database, you couldn’t then run another discovery *within* that database to find all its tablespaces dynamically.
