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.
- 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.
