    Help with Zabbix Capacity

    We are running Zabbix Front end on an HP DL360 with 6 GB of Memory ( 1 GB in use 5 GB free) and 144GB of Disk. Our MySQL is on a DL380 dual proc 20GB memory and 1TB of storage.

    We are watching 364 Hosts, 8552 Items, and 3176 Triggers. We are populating 142 entries per second and we are running into Queuing issues.

    I was hoping someone could point us into the right direction to help us tune our zabbix front end to eliminate these issues. I do understand we have alot of traffic but I didn't expect queuing delays this early.

    Our CPU load is less than 1% trended and we are using zabbix 1.6(6) on Ubuntu 32 bit os. We are rebuilding our front end next weekend using Ubuntu server 64 bit to match the MySQL backend OS.

    We are running our polling intervals anywhere from 30, 60, to 120 seconds depending on the item.

    We are seeing (at this snapshot) 25 1 seconds, 1232 10 Seconds, and 3646 30 seconds, 1895 1 minutes. We are also noticing when we add more hosts/items/triggers we begin to miss data in our graphs.

    Help? Do I just need a bigger front end?

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    We are seeing (at this snapshot) 25 1 seconds, 1232 10 Seconds, and 3646 30 seconds, 1895 1 minutes. We are also noticing when we add more hosts/items/triggers we begin to miss data in our graphs.
    Have you changed your zabbix server configuration ?
    Depending on the type of items you are monitoring, you should consider raising some of
    • StartPollers
    • StartTrappers
    • StartPingers
    • StartHTTPPollers

    parameters.
    You can check http://www.zabbix.com/documentation/.../zabbix_server for more details.

    Obviously, you have enough memory so that it should not be a problem.
    However, make sure that your mysql backend will accept more connections.

      Hi Mike,

      Were you able to resolve your queuing problem?
      If so, can you share them here?

      I am sure there are some good lessons to be learnt from your "scalability" challenge !

      Thanks,
