Upgrade
Zabbix can now automatically find different entities on a computer and create items, triggers and graphs to monitor them. For instance, if you have multiple network interfaces, Zabbix can find them based on a predefined rule.
If the interface is no longer available, it will be automatically removed.
Low-level Discovery

Upgrade
Host inventory (previously known as Profile and Extended profile) now can be populated automatically. Items have a property that allows to store their value in any of the inventory fields if inventory is set to Automatic mode.
Automatic Host Inventory Population
Web scenarios can now be monitored by remote proxies. It allows monitoring web applications from various geographical locations.

Upgrade
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.
Direct JMX Monitoring Support

Upgrade
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.

Zabbix frontend has received a redesign. The login page, table view and configuration wizard all have a fresh new look. The trigger severity colors can now be customized according to your taste.
