zabbix 7.0 support #24332

Open fidelix opened 5 months ago

fidelix commented 5 months ago

Can we please get zabbix 7?

It is backward-compatible with zabbix 6.4, and improves performance considerably. While at it, it would be great to get libcurl support for zabbix too, it isn't very useful without it.

Unfortunately, Openwrt Zabbix packages are not updated often and are sometimes limited, as seen in my request #15419.

Hi: I want to say some thing about zabbix-agent. old zabbix server can not support new zabbix agent. so currently 23.05 and snapshot which include zabbix agent 6.4 can only supported by zabbix 6.4/7.0 server. but zabbix server version 6.2/6.4 is standard version and has much shorter life than lts versions (6.0/7.0). I think many people will use lts zabbix server since it is easier to maintain.

since zabbix 7.0 lts is released, I hope openwrt zabbix-agent can maintain a lts version in the future. maybe openwrt should just pick up the lts version and ignore the standard version. or maybe use different package names like other distribution. (for example: zabbix70-agent, zabbix72-agent)

This simply is not true. I have a Zabbix 4.4 server with hundreds of agents from version 4.x all the way up to 7.0. Obviously the version 4 agent will not support an item key only added in a later version of Zabbix, but that is a very long way from not being usable - Zabbix agent has had all the useful metrics since 10+ years so you are unlikely to hit a showstopper due to this.

I agree that targeting LTS releases makes more sense that just using whatever was current at the time.

Indeed, the Zabbix agent can be of a different version. It's the zabbix proxy that has to be of the same major version.

Makes no difference from the standpoint that this issue is proposing

this maybe a working configuration, but I think it is not the "supported" configuration. document already said it like this (https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/6.0/en/manual/appendix/compatibility):

Supported agents To be compatible with Zabbix 6.0, Zabbix agent must not be older than version 1.4 and must not be newer than 6.0.

I believe we should follow Zabbix's EOL Full support cycle. As Zabbix 7 brings a lot in performance to the table, to me it's a no-brainer and openwrt should use it as it's default version.

EOL Zabbix 6.0 LTS: 28/02/2025 EOL Zabbix 6.4 (non-LTS): 30/06/2024 (not supported anymore) EOL Zabbix 7.0 LTS: 30/06/2027 EOL Zabbix 7.xx (non-LTS): TBD
