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 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.
