The new Zabbix 7.4 release brings significant improvements to resource discovery, monitoring automation, and user experience. 

Here are the key features:

Nested Low-Level Discovery (LLD)

Zabbix now supports automatic discovery of complex, multi-level environments such as cloud infrastructures, clusters, applications, IoT devices, and more. Unlimited nesting levels simplify monitoring of hierarchical systems and integration with external configuration tools.

Nested Host Prototypes

Automated host discovery has been enhanced with the ability to detect hierarchical structures, for example, discovering server clusters along with their individual nodes.

Host Wizard

Managing hosts is now easier with the new Host Wizard, which guides users through the entire process, from host creation and template assignment to agent installation and configuration.

New Item Card Widget

The updated Item Card widget provides a detailed view of individual metrics, including customizable fields, sparklines, related triggers, and additional context.

Improved Network Maps

Network maps have received several usability upgrades, such as dynamic link indicators, proportional background scaling, better icon management, and improved support for nested host groups.

Dashboard and UX Improvements

Creating dashboards is now faster with live widget previews and new color schemes for easier data interpretation. Additional UI improvements include inline field validation for forms, updated notification settings, and simplified user workflows.
