Deprecation notices

Here you can find a list of features scheduled for deprecation and their recommended replacements for equivalent or improved functionality. Deprecated features are no longer developed and will be retired in a future update. They remain usable until retirement.

Info

These deprecation notices describe future updates that may change as product development plans or customer requirements change. For more information, contact Zenoss support.

June, 2025

Collection Zone > Maintenance windows

Effective October 1, 2025, maintenance window features within Collection Zone will be discontinued. This deprecation includes setup, management, and ongoing maintenance of these windows. Instead, use the Maintenance Windows features in Zenoss Cloud.

Zenoss Cloud Maintenance Windows provides modern functionality for configuring maintenance windows and production states. These features are integrated with Actions and Inventory so you can leverage notifications and track your in-maintenance entities and devices as part of your daily workflow.

January, 2023

Zenoss Cloud > Dashboards > Event Count tile and Event List tile

Effective January 31, 2023, the Event Count and Event List tiles will be discontinued. Instead, use the Event List + Count tile for all of the use cases previously satisfied by the Event Count and Event List tiles. When you open an existing deprecated tile for configuration, Zenoss Cloud provides the new Event List + Count tile in its place.

Existing dashboards that include the tiles are unaffected until you open a tile for configuration.

August, 2022

Collection Zone > Dashboards

Effective August, 2022, all dashboard features and the DASHBOARD tab within Collection Zone are deprecated. Until CZ dashboards are retired, you can continue to use existing dashboards and even create new ones. However, it’s recommended that you create new dashboards and migrate existing dashboards to the Zenoss Cloud > Dashboards feature.

Note

If your Zenoss Cloud environment was created after April 1, 2021, your Collection Zones don't include the DASHBOARD tab.

The Zenoss Cloud dashboards feature provides equivalent or superior functionality. Here are some links to help you get started:

Collection Zone > Reports

Effective August, 2022, Collection Zone reports and the REPORTS tab are deprecated. Until reports are retired, you can continue to use them as you always have.

The Zenoss Cloud Data Access option provides greater control over what data is included and how reports are created through integration with third-party tools. In addition, you can export your data to create customized integrations or just store the data, either in your Google Cloud project or any other data store.
