zabbix (1:2.4.3+dfsg-1) experimental; urgency=low Services do not use config files in "/etc/default" any more. When first installed servers and proxy should be configured for automatic start using "systemd": sudo systemctl enable zabbix-{server|proxy} or SysV init system: sudo update-rc.d zabbix-{server|proxy} enable -- Dmitry Smirnov Wed, 05 Nov 2014 15:40:16 +1100 zabbix (1:2.2.0+dfsg-1) unstable; urgency=low Database upgrade ---------------- Starting with version 2.2.0 Zabbix server and proxy perform automatic database upgrade. Manual database patching is not required anymore. Zabbix server and proxy processes automatically check and upgrade the database schema and relevant data. Patching status and progress is visible in the logfile. Note that upgrade will be always started unconditionally, care should be taken when starting new binaries to prevent undesired database changes. Warning: make sure to have database backup before starting the new binaries. -- Dmitry Smirnov Fri, 15 Nov 2013 18:59:16 +1100 zabbix (1:2.0.1+dfsg-1) unstable; urgency=low Configuration file needs to be adapted -------------------------------------- Previous versions of this package (before 2.0) have set the database access configuration in the /etc/zabbix/zabbix_proxy.conf file automatically. Since version 2.0 this package will provide the original configuration file with only minor changes. So you are required to edit the configuration file and check the settings for DBHost, DBName, DBUser and DBPassword. Upgrading from earlier versions ------------------------------- You have to change your database schema when updating from Zabbix 1.8 to Zabbix 2.0. Please find an SQL file containing the necessary database changes in /usr/share/zabbix-proxy-pgsql/patch.sql.gz. To apply these changes just send the SQL statements to your zabbix database. Example: zcat /usr/share/zabbix-proxy-pgsql/patch.sql.gz \ | psql -U zabbix Also see the Zabbix homepage for further information: http://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.0/manual/installation/upgrade_notes -- Christoph Haas Sun, 01 Jul 2012 23:21:48 +0200
