This update enhances compatibility across multiple Zabbix versions and introduces tools for easier local development and testing.
Key improvements and verified version support:
- Verified Zabbix version support: 6.2, 6.4, 7.0, and 7.4.
- Version-specific feature handling:
- `history.push` is enabled only for Zabbix 7.0+; older versions skip it with a clear error or notice.
- Conditional JSON-RPC authentication: the `auth` field is automatically added to the request body for versions older than 6.4.
- Implemented static Zabbix version caching in the datasource to minimize redundant API calls.
- Query optimization refinements:
- Added mapping for implied fields (e.g., `state` -> `items`, `deviceType` -> `tags`).
- Automatically prune unnecessary Zabbix parameters (like `selectItems` or `selectTags`) when not requested.
- Local development environment:
- Added a new `zabbix-local` Docker Compose profile that includes PostgreSQL, Zabbix Server, and Zabbix Web.
- Supports testing different versions by passing the `ZABBIX_VERSION` environment variable (e.g., 6.2, 6.4, 7.0, 7.4).
- Provided a sample environment file at `samples/zabbix-local.env`.
- Documentation and Roadmap:
- Updated README with a comprehensive version compatibility matrix and local environment instructions.
- Created a new guide: `docs/howtos/local_development.md`.
- Updated maintenance guides and added "Local Development Environment" as an achieved milestone in the roadmap.
- Test suite enhancements:
- Improved Smoketest and RegressionTest executors with more reliable resource cleanup and error reporting.
- Made tests version-aware to prevent failures on older Zabbix instances.
BREAKING CHANGE: Dropped Zabbix 6.0 specific workarounds; the minimum supported version is now 6.2.
- Implement pushHistory mutation to support pushing telemetry data to Zabbix trapper items.
- Add VERBOSITY and MCP_LOG_* environment variables for controllable request/response logging in both API and MCP server.
- Enhance ZabbixRESTDataSource with better session handling and error logging.
- Update ZabbixHistory datasource to support history push operations.
- Expand documentation with new cookbook recipes and MCP integration guides.
- Add integration tests for history pushing (src/test/history_push*).
- Reorganize documentation, moving technical product info PDF to docs/use-cases/.
- Update GraphQL generated types and VCR templates.
- Implement query optimization (reduced output, parameter skipping) to minimize Zabbix API traffic.
- Add indirect dependency handling: deviceType implies tags and state implies items.
- Move schema extensions to samples/extensions/ to clarify their role as samples.
- Enhance DistanceTrackerDevice with String time fields to support optional date portions.
- Ensure allDevices strictly filters by deviceType and populates the field in results.
- Refactor runAllRegressionTests mutation to use internal unique names and improve stability.
- Fix unnecessary Zabbix API calls for item preprocessing during template and host imports.
- Update documentation including cookbook recipes, test specifications, and optimization guides.
- Add extensive unit, integration, and regression tests covering all implemented changes.
- Update docker-compose.yml to mount the samples/ directory as a volume.
- Update IntelliJ .idea run configurations to reflect the new sample extension paths.
- Established a centralized test specification in docs/tests.md that defines test categories, cases, and a coverage checklist to ensure consistent quality and maintainability across the project.
- Implemented RegressionTestExecutor for managing automated regression tests on a live Zabbix system.
- Updated GraphQL schema and resolvers with a generic runAllRegressionTests mutation.
- Enhanced MCP integration with new operation files and detailed documentation for AI-driven automation.
- Updated README.md and How-To guides (Cookbook, Maintenance, MCP) to reflect the new testing framework and MCP capabilities.
- Verified all changes with a full Jest suite (74 tests) and live end-to-end smoketests.
- Add mcp/operations/importHosts.graphql for flexible, name-based host provisioning.
- Split schema verification operations into createVerificationHost.graphql and verifySchemaExtension.graphql to support Apollo MCP server requirements.
- Improve mcp/operations/createHost.graphql with better type mapping and error message retrieval.
- Fix syntax error in importHosts.graphql by replacing unsupported triple-quote docstrings with standard comments.
- Add src/test/mcp_operations_validation.test.ts to automatically validate MCP operations against the GraphQL schema.
- Update docs/howtos/cookbook.md with 🤖 AI/MCP guidance and refined recipe steps for schema extension verification.
- Update README.md, docs/howtos/mcp.md, and .junie/guidelines.md to:
- Add Docker (v27+) and Docker Compose (v2.29+) version requirements to the Tech Stack.
- Enforce the use of docker compose (without hyphen) for all commands in the Environment guidelines.
- Replace legacy docker-compose references across all documentation with the new command format.
This commit introduces several improvements to the project's documentation,
roadmap, and AI agent integration (MCP).
Key changes:
- Created and styled roadmap.md to track project milestones and future plans.
- Updated .junie/guidelines.md with strict documentation style standards.
- Automated GraphQL schema concatenation for the MCP server using a schema-gen init-container.
- Updated MCP setup recipes in cookbook.md and mcp.md to reflect the new automation.
- Added .ai/mcp/mcp.json for connecting to existing MCP services via HTTP.
- Improved development workflow by updating package.json to watch .graphql files.
- Cleaned up the root directory by moving schema.graphql to .gitignore and removing redundant files.
- Standardized visual style and formatting across all markdown files.
This commit finalizes the documentation improvement plan by:
- Centralizing reference material in README.md.
- Creating a dedicated Technical Maintenance guide (docs/howtos/maintenance.md).
- Creating a categorized Sample Queries & Mutations overview (docs/queries/README.md).
- Eliminating redundant information across the doc set (DRY principle).
- Optimizing cross-references between reference documentation and the Cookbook.
- Updating the improvement plan to reflect all tasks as completed.
