what happens if the proxy lose contact with its database?

[vanessa]

When the zabbix proxy database is down, will the monitoring be buffered on disk, or what happens?

[ISiroshtan]

Don't really recall consciously doing such test, but pretty sure it will stop operating. Whether it will crash or if process will just hang active but not operational - not sure.

Will be curious to hear if anyone actually did this kind of scenario testing.

zabbix-proxy.service - Zabbix Proxy just fails to start, observed this case when we had an outage last time

Zabbix 7 is suppose to have some kind of buffer though, and be able to run without it?

[ISiroshtan]

Based on description of that new feature in " What's new in Zabbix 7.0.0 " section of documentation, to me new buffer seems like performance optimization, rather then something that is aimed at allowing proxy to run without database.
