    mis-reporting of devices down and long proxy queues

    Hi

    We have a Zabbix 3.4 server in the cloud with 5 active proxy servers on various sites. There is around 7000 items over 175 hosts. The server was running on a VPS with a shared core however that has been moved to a single full core with 4Gb ram and 80Gb SSD. The MySQL database is around 12Gb currently. Pings to the server are around 170-180ms

    We are getting terrible mis-reporting of devices down, also high pings on internet devices that are being monitored directly to the Zabbix server. Also we can get proxy queue times of 5mins which starts to correspond with complete site down reports.

    We are considering moving the server back in house on one of our own hyperv servers so that we can give it more processors, etc but Im loathed to do that if its something we could resolve.

    The obvious question is why do the queues go into 5 minutes plus? Is that generally a proxy server error or a processing power error on the Zabbix server? (IE it cant digest the proxy data quick enough?)

    Also we sometimes have queues in the 5 minute zone but none in the 5 second to 1 minute? Why would that be?
