History cleanup

[vinay_athiyil]

Hi all,

We are using zabbix server 1.4 in production environment.The problem is mysql database is growing very fast and deleting history items is leads to timeout error.(Mysql may not handle this query ! )
Is the zabbix itself rotate history data for items aor we want to cleanup manually?

Regards

You can specify how long will be kept data for every item: History, trends.. Than housekeeper should delete it.
