Hi
In dashboard, status of zabbix section there is "Required server performance, new values per second" field.what does it indicate?On our server is 35.86.higher or lower is good?!

Thanks in advance

There is no help?

Hi,

In fact, there is no answer. It is neither good or bad.

It is described in the documentation : http://www.zabbix.com/documentation/...n/requirements

This value can be used to estimate server requirements in terms of database size and CPU power.

Question is, you dont know the answer or nobody(include autors) dont know the answer? Second options make my a little scary

Are you joking ?

"Values per second" is just a performance indicator.
There is no good value.

If I tell you that I have 35.86 queries/s on some database and I ask if it good or bad should I be scared because you don't know ?

Definitely not joking...whats the point of having such a information if you dont know what its exatcly mean and then howto use such a information. For example I have for this moment number 86.20 and I know, when I add new items, then number is increasing. So what? If I get over number 100 I will need more powerfull hw or I win milions euro...or?

As I said in my first post, it is useful to estimate server requirements (read my first post again, there is a link to Zabbix doc.). values per second, combined some other indicators (how long you keep history, ....) will help estimate your database size.

I am curious to know how large that number can get before the wheels fall off. Obviously it depends on the shape, size and colour of the server. What sort of values do we have in the very large installations.

I am sitting at 200 and growing as I add stuff; and I don't consider my installation to be large at all.

Zabbix NVPS Varies based on configuration across various perspectives

It's hard to say exactly how many NVPS Zabbix can handle; it largely depends on a few different variables.

1. Your system hardware configuration and specifications (Physical Memory, Disk Space, CPU, etc.)
2. Your software configuration (Are you running the DB, web interface, and Zabbix Server on the same system? Or is it distributed? Do you implement Zabbix Proxies? What type of DB are you using?)
3. Network Settings, latency, and capacity. Slower networks can cause your database to bog down as your approach higher NVPS.

When you consider all of these variables it's important to note what works best for one person may not work as well for another based on their monitoring requirements, as well as their exact specifications across the variables listed above.

There are reported cases of some systems being able to support over 9,000 NVPS and thousands of hosts with a total of over 600,000 items.

Having a high number of new values per second doesn't necessarily mean that you are gathering pertinent data for your particular requirements. It's important to only monitor what is relevant and needed for your requirements, otherwise you are not utilizing your resources properly!

Sorry to drag up and old thread but is there any guidance around this?
eg 600nvps, all roles on one server = recommended hardware

I'm aware that one size doesn't fit all but a rough gauge or what to watch for when nvps increases etc would be good.

No NVPS appears on my System Information widget. How to do to show?
