    Ideal Configuration of zabbix_server.conf

    I am using Zabbix version 5.0
    CPU - 4 cores
    RAM/Memory - 16GB
    HDD - 200GB
    and monitoring 92 hosts.

    These are the things I have tweaked in my config file:

    - StartPollersUnreachable=5
    - StartTrappers=5
    - StartPingers=5
    - StartDiscoverers=5
    - StartHTTPPollers=10
    - StartVMwareCollectors=5
    - VMwareFrequency=60
    - VMwarePerfFrequency=60
    - VMwareCacheSize=128M
    - VMwareTimeout=10
    - HistoryStorageCacheSize=128M
    - HousekeepingFrequency=1
    - MaxHousekeeperDelete=10000​
    - CacheSize=256M
    - HistoryCacheSize=128M
    - Timeout=4
    - TrapperTimeout=300


    I am flooded with Utilization of Housekeeper process alerts every now and then !!
    What would be the ideal zabbix_server.conf​ for my server?

    Kind regards,
    Catwoman

    There is no "ideal" config.. Those parameters like cache sizes and trapper/poller count ... those have no influence on housekeeper performance... It mostly depends on your DB speed (think, what housekeeping means?... deleting old data)... So maybe your DB needs some tuning instead? SSD instead of HDD.. Separate physical disk for data..

      Thank you for your answer. But unfortunately, we can't have a separate physical disk for data. Zabbix and database both are on the same VM under ESXi. My coworker said that we are indeed using SSD and not HDD. Is there any other way to tweak and increase the performance or speed?
