Supported agents
Older agents from Zabbix 1.0, Zabbix 1.1.x, Zabbix 1.4.x, Zabbix 1.6.x, Zabbix 1.8.x and Zabbix 2.0.x can still be used with Zabbix 2.2. It does not require any configuration changes on agent side.
However, to take full advantage of new and improved items, improved performance and reduced memory usage, use the latest 2.2 agent.

All distributed monitoring nodes must be of the same major version. 2.0 nodes are not supported together with 2.2 nodes.
