I've been running a zabbix server which polls about 50-60 hosts, with between 5 and 10 items on each. The problem is the housekeeping process. The database is about 12 gigs now, and when I start suckerd at this point, it thrashes at the hard drive for about 5 minutes until the MySQL times out and it dies. If I disable housekeeping in the suckerd config file, then everything works fine, but of course the database keeps growing endlessly. I set the histories to only last 180 days now, down from 365, but without the housekeeping working, it won't delete expired days. Any thoughts on how to fix this? I'm using the standard MySql config for a 512 mb box. If anyone wants to post their mysql config for a successful large db instance of Zabbix, that might help. Thanks.
