Grafana-Zabbix 4.0.0-alpha3

4.0 Feature highlights

Grafana-Zabbix 4.0 comes with a bunch of changes under the hood. The most important thing introduced is a backend, which brings a number of benefits:

• Alerting support (limited, data processing functions are not supported yet).
• Fixed security issues related to exposing data source credentials to the Grafana frontend and storing password as a plain text in database.
• Improved performance (plugin can cache queries and process data on the backend).
• With improved security it makes easier to add actions (execute scripts, close problems, etc).
