Zabbix Agent 2 is a promising platform that gives Zabbix more capabilities for data collection. Written in the powerful Go language, this new agent provides more options for plugin developers. More than that, it is less complicated than C Loadable modules, so creating plugins is now much more accessible for everyone.

The long-awaited release of Zabbix 3.4 is available now, which brought many useful improvements, among which were customizable JMX endpoints and flexible detection of MBeans.
