Single host. Can I have less Zabbix processes running?

03-06-2013, 13:46

Hello!

I'm new to Zabbix and have trouble understanding its configuration files. I only have a single LEMP host (Linux - EngineX (Nginx) - Mysql - PHP) and want to monitor it.

I installed both Zabbix agent and server to my host and found that I have like 15 Zabbix processes running (5 agents and about 10 server processes).

Isn't it an overkill for a single host?

I run Zabbix 2.0.4 on Ubuntu 12.04. All I want to do is check my host's RAM, CPU and nginx stats (via http_stub_status_module).

Can you please advise what values should I use for StartAgents, StartDiscoverers, StartHTTPPollers, StartPingers, StartPollersUnreachable, etc to reduce the number of running Zabbix processes?

Thank you!

Monitoring how busy Zabbix processes are - Zabbix Blog

In the past, quite often Zabbix users have been puzzled regarding some server tuning parameters – for example, how many pollers do they need? It was usually determined based on experience, testing and a bit of guesstimating. No more fuzzy attempts – get hard facts with Zabbix 1.8.5.

(And look in zabbix_server.conf and zabbix_agentd.conf)
