Zabbix-CLI - Release version 1.7.0

9 June 2017 / 0 Comments

A new version of Zabbix-CLI has been released to the public. Source files, RPM and DEB files are available at GitHub.

This new version has new general improvements and new functionality to acknowledge events.

New features

[Issue:#17]: Add a new command 'show_trigger_events' to show events
for a trigger.
[Issue:#18]: Add a new command 'acknowledge_trigger_last_event' to
acknowledge the last event of a trigger with a message.
[Issue:#27]: Update the command 'create_host' so it also accepts IP
values and not only hostname values.
[Issue:#36]: Add a new command 'acknowledge_events' to acknowledge
an eventID with a message.
[Issue:#43]: Add maintenance type (With/Without data collection)
parameter to the command 'create_maintenance.

This is a new parameter for this command. This can break old bulk updates definitions
using the wrong number of parameters.
[Issue:#45]: ZABBIX_USERNAME and ZABBIX_PASSWORD environment
variables accepted as credentials.
Allow specifying interface dns with the command 'create_host_interface'.
Thanks to Jean-Baptiste Denis for the patch.

This is a new parameter for this command. This can break old bulk updates definitions
using the wrong number of parameters.

[Issue:#22]: Delete a deleted host from the hostid cache only if it
exists. If a host is created via the zabbix frontend after a
zabbix-cli session has been started, the host will not exist in the
zabbix-cli cache of this session. Thanks to
https://github.com/volter for the report.
[Issue:#24]: Fix that a host cannot be created if the group set in
the default_hostgroup parameter does not exist. Thanks to
https://github.com/volter for the report.
[Issue:#28]: Fix exception error when the HOME variable is not
defined. Thanks to https://github.com/invin12 for the report.
[Issue:#29]: Fix return code values when running in command-line
mode. Thanks to https://github.com/invin12 for the report.
[Issue:#32]: Fix export problem when Hostgroups include the slash
character '/' e.g.: UNIX/GROUP/TEST. Thanks to
https://github.com/invin12 for the report.
[Issue:#35]: populate_hostid_cache() excluded disabled hosts and did
not use the 'real name' attributte of the host. Fix these so we can
use the command define_host_monitoring_status in bluk
operations. Thanks to https://github.com/blu3bird for the report.
[Issue:#38]: Fix utf8 problems when exporting templates. Thanks to
https://github.com/fgtham for the patch and
https://github.com/patsevanton for the report.
