Low-level Discovery

If the interface is no longer available, it will be automatically removed.

Direct JMX Monitoring Support


Zabbix 2.0 adds native support for JMX monitoring by introducing a new Zabbix daemon called Zabbix Java gateway. When Zabbix server wants to know the value of a particular JMX counter on a host, it asks the Zabbix Java gateway, which in turn uses the JMX management API to query the application of interest remotely.

Zabbix now supports multiple interfaces per host. You can configure several interface-host pairs in the host properties, and specify which should be used as the default for several item types (Zabbix agent, SNMP, JMX and IPMI). Additionally, you can override the interface on the item level.
