# 8 Template changes

This page lists all changes to the stock templates that are shipped with
Zabbix.

Note that upgrading to the latest Zabbix version will not automatically
upgrade the templates used. It is suggested to modify the templates in
existing installations by:

-   Downloading the latest templates from the [Zabbix Git
    repository](https://git.zabbix.com/projects/ZBX/repos/zabbix/browse/templates?at=refs%2Fheads%2Frelease%2F4.4);
-   Then, while in *Configuration* → *Templates* you can import them
    manually into Zabbix. If templates with the same names already
    exist, the *Delete missing* options should be checked when importing
    to achieve a clean import. This way the old items that are no longer
    in the updated template will be removed (note that it will mean
    losing history of these old items).

#### New templates

See the list of [new
templates](/manual/introduction/whatsnew440#new_templates) in Zabbix
4.4.0.

#### Changes in 4.4.1

-   The *Template Net HP Comware HH3C SNMPv2* now contains the correct
    value mapping.
-   In the *Template Module Zabbix agent* agent.ping type has been
    changed from ZABBIX\_ACTIVE to ZABBIX\_PASSIVE

#### Changes in 4.4.2

Low-level **discovery rules** have been split from the parent template
*Template Module HOST-RESOURCES-MIB SNMPv2* into separate linked
templates:

-   Template Module HOST-RESOURCES-MIB storage SNMPv2
-   Template Module HOST-RESOURCES-MIB memory SNMPv2
-   Template Module HOST-RESOURCES-MIB CPU SNMPv2

Other changes:

-   A CPU utilization item has been added to *Template Module
    HOST-RESOURCES-MIB CPU SNMPv2*;
-   The filesystem discovery filter has been improved to exclude some
    unnecessary values in *Template Module HOST-RESOURCES-MIB storage
    SNMPv2* (linked to *Template OS Windows SNMPv2*), *Template Net
    Arista SNMPv2*);
-   The network interface discovery filter has been improved to exclude
    some unnecessary values in *Template Module Interfaces Windows
    SNMPv2* (linked to *Template OS Windows SNMPv2*);
-   Discovery filters in several templates are now defined by
    template-level user macros (for example {$VFS.FS.FSNAME.MATCHES} and
    {$VFS.FS.FSNAME.NOT\_MATCHES}) that can be overridden on host or
    linked-template level for flexibility:
    -   *Template Module HOST-RESOURCES-MIB storage SNMPv2*
    -   *Template Module HOST-RESOURCES-MIB memory SNMPv2*
    -   *Template Module HOST-RESOURCES-MIB CPU SNMPv2*
    -   *Template Module Interfaces Windows SNMPv2*

#### Changes in 4.4.4

-   Windows service discovery has been added to *Template OS Windows by
    Zabbix agent*.
-   Low-level discovery rules have been split from *Template Module
    HOST-RESOURCES-MIB SNMPv1* into separate linked templates (see
    [Changes in 4.4.2](/#changes_in_442) for details)
-   Each xml of template has been moved into its own sub directory. In
    Bitbucket, this allows each template to have its own README.md
    rendered, when viewed in web.
-   Value mapping 'Ethernet 10Mbs' has been renamed to 'Ethernet' in
    linux,linux\_prom
-   Ploop md hcp zram has been added to LLD filter for vfs.dev(block
    devices) in linux,linux\_prom,linux\_snmp
-   Not used macros in hp\_hpn template have been removed
-   Value mapping for HH3C template has been fixed
-   Poll time of CPU metrics has been changed to 5m by default in cisco
    template
-   Missing user macros in windows\_agent template has been added
-   Remove mode=none from trigger prototypes, version triggers now close
    after some timeout
-   Width has been set to 750px for all screen graphs
