    SSL for remote MySQL?

    Because of the large storage requirements I've been forced to move my zabbix database to a different machine than where the server is operating. This is not a big deal, however it raises an important question.

    Is the data being transmitted to the SQL database sensitive enough that I should use an encrypted connection? I will probably eventually enable SSL, but should this be a top priority or is it unlikely to present a significant risk? Also, will the extra overhead cost of encryption have a significant effect on the performance of the zabbix server?

    Any advice is appreciated.
