Does zabbix work with MySQL cluster (NDBCLUSTER) backend?

[geekindenial]

Hi,

I'm building a new Zabbix server for our data center and would like to know if it works with MySQL cluster backend (i.e. with Zabbix tables stored on NDBCLUSTER storage engine)?

Any reason that I should NOT do this? The reason I ask is our business system has already required the use of a DB cluster, so it would make things easier and I dont have to worry about database backup/replication for Zabbix separately.

Many thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi,

I'm also interested in using NDB engine for Zabbix.
Did you guys do this already if so did it work for you?

Thanks!

Using ndb cluster is in general a bad idea. It's a horrible beast to administer and should be avoided wherever possible.

If you want to increase availability/reliability, check out MMM for MySQL for instance: http://mysql-mmm.org. It works well and makes use of normal MySQL Replication. If you happen to use puppet, we made a nice module available here: https://github.com/Tribily/puppet-mmm

Have fun!
