Grafana-Zabbix 4.0.0-alpha2

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).

Installation

Prerequisites: plugin requires Grafana 7.0 to run.

Version 4.0 is currently in alpha state and not published at grafana.com. In order to install it, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the GitHub releases and find latest 4.0.0 release.
