hw requirements for zabbix proxy

[FildaSmile]

Hello,

i setup zabbix server in our company and i already monitor 97 hosts / 3914 items / 105,79 new values per second. (btw. i have periodically around 520items in zabbix queue but not longer than 5seconds - could it be problem?)

Now i thinking about setup an proxy at customer side to monitor their servers and other devices, how can i estimate the HW power of the proxy server ? lets say that customer will have same numbers of hosts and nvps as we have, does the proxy consume similar performance as the zabbix server ? our VM for zabbix consuming between 4-20% CPU (VM has 4cpus , server has 12 CPUs [2x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2620 v3 @ 2.40GHz]) and consumint 16.09GB RAM.

Thank you for advice for main and also side question (queue).

First, the queue. are you using passive or active checks?

Second: the proxy question...
Is your zabbix server an all in one box or do you have a separate database server? You're saying your zabbix server consumes 16Gb RAM so I'm guessing it's an all in one box.

In that case, your proxy requirements would be a lot less. Give it 2 vCPU, 4Gb RAM and see where that gets you...should be enough.

First, i using passive checks (SNMP polling) and i have one agent installed on the VM.

Yes my zabbix is all in one box installed on VM linux Ubuntu, we have idea that we will use some small pc like rapsberry or similar PC for proxy purposes, for example: Broadcom BCM2711 Quad-Core 1.5 GHz 64bit ARM, 4GB LPDDR4 RAM -> do you think that it could be enough ? CPU and RAM are good but im not sure about SD card , i have read that also PROXY has own batabase - it is true ?

Thank you !
