sid should be gone in 3.0 as part of ZBXNEXT-2662 - but that does not seem to be mentioned in whatsnew (but thanks for having a changelog entry about it ).
it has been asked by users a lot, so it is important enough - let's use this issue to document that in whatsnew, too

I'm not sure what frontend page could generate the link mentioned in description.

As for ZBXNEXT-2662's changelog I was able to find following:

..F....... ZBXNEXT-2662 moved "sid" parameter into POST method for links with actions (Sasha)
..F....... ZBXNEXT-2662 removed "sid" parameter from almost all links (Sasha)

ZBX-7059 is also related.

Tiago, please describe how do you get the link to try to compare it on 3.0 release.

Hello Oleksiy,

So, using Zabbix 2.4.7, this is how to generate broken links:

-> Monitoring -> Graphs -> Host XXX -> Graph XXX (ex: Zabbix proxy performance)

This will generate a link like this:

• /zabbix/charts.php?sid=aac18a95ab092ac1&form_refresh=1&fullscreen=0&groupid=5&hostid=13222&graphid=35034

After this, if you click to Dashboard, and back to Graphs, you will see the same graph as before (Zabbix proxy performance) but with this link:

• /zabbix/charts.php?ddreset=1&sid=aac18a95ab092ac1

If you share the first link, it will works. If you share the second link, it will fail.

The problem is: I never know, for sure, if my coworker will see the same as I'm seeing when I share some URL with them

If this issue was solved in Zabbix 3.0 will be another big reason to upgrade!

Thanks a lot!

Thank Tiago.

Your specific case is still actual in 3.0, the only improvement in 3.0 that such way generated link doesn't contain SID anymore.
But if switch to another graph using the drop-down - the SID will be added to URL again

Reason is that when you click Monitoring -> Graph, zabbix frontend uses "profiles" table where stored last viewed graph ID, time period selected per each graph etc.

In such cases, theoretically, zabbix frontend could redirect browser to a link with filled ?graphid=1206,
Another way, mentioned by zabbix devs, is to change browser's URL of visited page in a way as we can see, for example, on Google maps when we move map.
But that's indeed a feature request

(1) another thing missing - time period is not included in the simple/custom graph pages
