General questions regarding Queue

[dan.trainor]

Hi -

I've started to add a boat load of items to be monitored by Zabbix, and so far it's holding up pretty well. The machine is pretty good, and it is keeping pace. However, I still see items in the queue which sometimes exceed five minutes.

My first question is, do things on the queue include the time it takes to perhaps contact a down host? Once a host is down, or otherwise unreachable by the Zabbix server, does that latency count as a metric to how Zabbix reports items in the queue?

Secondly, is there any way to see exactly which hosts, and which items, are in which queue timeframe? This would be a great tool to use in order to see which hosts were troublesome or otherwise degrading the performance of the rest of the polling process itself. Using MySQL's 'SHOW PROCESSLIST' isn't all that fun

Thanks!

Yes, this is possible. Just select "Details" in the Queue's drop-down box.
