Zabbix Team has recently unveiled the launch of Zabbix 4.2. This latest version introduces a comprehensive monitoring system equipped with cutting-edge features, including data collection and processing, distributed monitoring, real-time problem and anomaly detection, alerting and escalations, visualization, and more. Zabbix 4.2 significantly enhances data collection capabilities, supporting diverse methods such as push and pull from various sources like JMX, SNMP, WMI, HTTP/HTTPS, RestAPI, XML Soap, SSH, Telnet, agents, scripts, and more. Notably, the integration with Prometheus has been added as a new feature, allowing native support for the PromQL language. Additionally, the utilization of dependent metrics empowers the Zabbix team to efficiently gather a vast amount of Prometheus metrics. By making a single HTTP call, all the required data can be retrieved and subsequently reused for relevant dependent metrics.
