    Query regarding aggregate behaviour

    Hi,
    We have a template configured with several hosts using that template. One of the items is an aggregate vs the host group and I have noted that the aggregate item is assigned to each host (normal behaviour).

    Can someone confirm to me what will happen to the aggregated data in this scenario where each host is reading the same data from the db (for aggregation):

    1. Duplicate copies of the aggregated data will be written back to the db for each host.
    2. Data will be written back only once even though the item exists for each host.
    3. No data will be written back to the db at all because aggregate data isn't stored.

    My assumption is that 1. is correct and so I need to move the aggregate to a more appropriate location. I would appreciate it if someone can confirm/deny this please?

    Regards,
    David

      Zabbix will store data for each item. If you have templated an aggregate item, i.e. every host with that template has the aggregated item, then each host has the potential to store duplicate data.

      In your example, #1 is correct.
