Greetings pro,
I will be happy to get a recommendation on how to attack it
as DevOps, I need to provide a solution for our rapidly growing business monitor environment.
Current Zabbix 3.4 Setup:
Both Zabbix Server and DB resides on the same VM
The server has been upgraded a few times from an earlier version of Zabbix 2.4 up to 3.4 without proper maintenance on DB or partitioning.
The host's seats on 3 different Data Centers and Zabbix Server located in HQ.
Planning New Setup:
Zabbix Server 4.2
Centos 7.6 server
32GB, 500GB SSD
Physical or Virtual server will be enough?
Which DB is preferable (with less maintenance I read about TimeScaleDB but is experimental)
InnoDB, DB Maria or MySQL?
It is better to dedicate separate server for DB?
We are planning to shift our core hosts around 30 into AWS environment so Redis, Buckets, Containers, RDS and most of AWS components will be in use. wait to see how it works
Total no.of Hosts and Network Devices up to 800 max
Thanks in advance
Kpax
