Version 1.7.0

Changelog

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.

Bugfixes

• [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.

• Merge changes from the original pyzabbix 0.7.4 into zabbix-cli/pyzabbix
• Upgrade command create_notification_user to accept a 'remark' string.

• Disable the use of JSON exports until https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBX-10607 gets fixed. Only XML exports work now.

New version - 1.4.0

• One can define a custom config file with the parameters '--config ' or '-c ' when starting 'zabbix-cli'.
