Changelog:
:: Network maps improvements
Network maps can now be referenced on the frontend not only by id, but also by name, just like screens in 1.8.4. Adding GET parameter mapname will open the screen with that name, for example: http://zabbix/zabbix/maps.php?mapname=D ... drop%20map
:: Monitoring of Zabbix performance
New internal item was added to monitor Zabbix process state. Item zabbix[process,type,mode,state] allows to monitor busy or idle percentage of different Zabbix server processes over the last minute.
:: New trigger functions
Several new trigger functions added: dayofmonth() returns current day of month, logeventid() returns whether Event ID of the last log entry matches a regular expression.
