This commit comprehensive updates the API to ensure full compatibility across all major Zabbix versions (6.0 LTS, 6.2, 6.4, and 7.0 LTS) and introduces a local development environment for multi-version testing.
Verified Zabbix Versions:
- Zabbix 7.0 (LTS): Full support, including native `history.push` for telemetry.
- Zabbix 6.4: Supported (excluding `history.push`); uses `hostgroup.propagate` and UUID-based matching.
- Zabbix 6.2: Supported (excluding `history.push`); uses `hostgroup.propagate` and `templategroup.*` methods.
- Zabbix 6.0 (LTS): Supported (excluding `history.push`); includes specific fallbacks:
- JSON-RPC: Restored `auth` field in request body for versions lacking Bearer token support.
- Permissions: Implemented name-based fallback for host/template groups (no UUIDs in 6.0).
- Group Expansion: Automatic manual expansion of group rights during import.
- API Methods: Fallback from `templategroup.*` to `hostgroup.*` methods.
Key Technical Changes:
- Local Development: Added `zabbix-local` Docker Compose profile to launch a complete Zabbix stack (Server, Web, Postgres) from scratch with dynamic versioning via `ZABBIX_VERSION`.
- Query Optimization: Refined dynamic field selection to handle implied fields and ensure consistent output regardless of initial Zabbix parameters.
- Documentation:
- New `local_development.md` HOWTO guide.
- Updated `README.md` with detailed version compatibility matrix.
- Expanded `roadmap.md` with achieved milestones.
- Testing:
- Updated entire Jest test suite (23 suites, 96 tests) to be version-aware and robust against naming collisions.
- Enhanced Smoketest and Regression Test executors with better cleanup and error reporting.
- 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 runSmoketest mutation to automate end-to-end verification.
- Add SmoketestExecutor and HostDeleter to support automated testing and cleanup.
- Extend createHost and importHosts to allow linking templates by name or ID.
- Update docs/howtos/cookbook.md with new recipe steps and AI/MCP guidance.
- Update .junie/guidelines.md with new verification and deployment standards.
- Add src/test/template_link.test.ts and update existing tests to cover new functionality.
- Regenerate GraphQL types to match schema updates.
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.
