What’s new in Zabbix 6.4?

The new release focuses on simplifying Zabbix configuration, allowing Zabbix to instantly propagate configuration changes across large, distributed environments, as well as streamlining software update workflows. Organizations using LDAP or SAML will benefit from the new Just-in-time (JIT) user provisioning capabilities, allowing IT administrators to propagate Zabbix users using centralized user authentication mechanisms. This update also contains several templates and integrations for the most popular vendors and cloud providers such as Veeam, AWS, Azure, Cisco and many others. Just-in-time (JIT) user provisioning Automatically create and update your Zabbix users with the new Just-in-time user provisioning feature for LDAP and SAML: Cause and symptoms events To allow for an overview of issues and better filtering options, as well as identifying root cause of issues, issue events can now be marked as cause or symptom events: Instant propagation of configuration changes Instantly sync your configuration changes to Zabbix Agent and Proxy, running in active or passive modes.
