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.
This change introduces the Weather Sensor device type which retrieves data from public APIs, and enhances the core Host/Device interfaces to provide consistent access to inventory and items across all specialized device types. It also improves search logic and fixes several bugs identified during implementation.
- Weather Sensor Extension: Added schema and recipe for a device retrieving weather data via Zabbix HTTP agent items.
- Interface Enhancements: Added inventory and items fields to Host and Device interfaces to ensure all device specialized types have consistent access to monitoring and inventory data.
- Search Logic Improvements: Enhanced ParsedArgs to support searchByAny and technical name (host) searches when a name pattern is provided.
- Bug Fixes:
- Fixed getLocations argument order in the Zabbix API datasource.
- Implemented deduplication for groupids and templateids in HostImporter to prevent Zabbix duplicate value errors.
- Added missing url field to CreateTemplateItem for HTTP Agent item support.
- Testing:
- Extended the regression test suite with 4 new automated checks covering the fixed bugs.
- Updated Jest tests to accommodate the improved search parameters.
- Documentation: Updated cookbook and test specifications to reflect new features and regression testing obligations.
- Added unit tests for schema loader, mocking Config variables and resolvers.
- Added unit tests for Zabbix API configuration, verifying constants derived from Config.
- Mocked relevant modules and filesystem behaviors to enable isolated testing.
- Optimized imports on all files and include this within a new .junie/guidelines.md file
- Implemented GraphQL endpoints for importing, querying, and deleting Zabbix templates and template groups. - Added support for full template data import, including items, preprocessing steps, tags, and linked templates. - Implemented dependent item support by deferred creation logic in the template importer. - Added ability to query templates and template groups with name pattern filtering (supporting Zabbix wildcards). - Implemented batch deletion for templates and template groups by ID or name pattern. - Improved error reporting by including detailed Zabbix API error data in GraphQL responses. - Added comprehensive unit and integration tests covering all new functionality. - Provided GraphQL sample queries and mutations in the 'docs' directory for all new endpoints.
