Hardware requirements

  • Memory requirements
  • ZABBIX requires both physical and disk memory. 32 Mb of physical memory and 20 Mb of free disk memory could be a good starting point. However, the amount of required disk memory obviously depends on the number of hosts and parameters that are being monitored. If you're planning to keep a long history of monitored parameters, you should be thinking of at least a couple of gigabytes to have enough space to store the history in the database.

    Each ZABBIX daemon process requires several connections to a database server. Amount of memory allocated for the connection depends on configuration of the database engine.

    Remember, the more physical memory you have, the faster the database (and therefore ZABBIX) works!
