Zabbix database growth too fast

[jackyho]

Hi All,

Zabbix database size growth too fast. I'm using Zabbix version 3.4.2. Anyone know how to reduce it?

Thanks

Reduce the amount of items that you're monitoring, and/or reduce retention of the history and trends of those items you are monitoring.

or consider increasing the polling interval on items you do want to monitor.

Reduce the amount of items that you're monitoring, and/or reduce retention of the history and trends of those items you are monitoring.

I echo what vesper said, reduce the amount of data collected (the items on hosts\triggers) and\or adjust retention polices (housekeeping). Administration > General > Housekeeping. Housekeeping for history and trends can be controlled in two ways. 1) globally or 2) or with the item config iteself. I personally would go with a global approach.
