    My PGSQL vs. MySQL backend experience

    Hello everyone,

    I recently posted asking for help in dealing with the mysql backend for Zabbix as it was taking up roughly 30% or more of the system load constantly. I followed suggestions in the replies and also in other forum posts / articles on the web but nothing seemed to help. I am by no means a mysql expert so that could be part of the problem as well.

    I eventually decided to try converting to Postgresql and when I did, I found my system load constantly under 8% or less. I've read that the web interface under Postgres is slower than MySQL, but that did not seem true for me. It was quite snappy, certainly no slower.

    Anyway, I figured I'd share this in case others are having the same problems I had and getting nowhere to fix them.


    Kind regards,
    Elvar

    This is interesting. I suspect that MySQL was not tuned properly. MySQL generally works faster than PostgreSQL when used for ZABBIX database.
