    Help zabbix is becoming unuseable

    Hello,

    Please help with my zabbix setup.

    Specs:
    Centos 5 physical
    Zabbix 2.0.4
    50 hosts
    13458 items
    9428 triggers
    68.37 server peformance

    HP DL380 G5 Xeon 2.0 GHZ
    Raid 1 disk
    3GB of ram

    The zabbix house keeper process keeps taking too long. I have changed the config to 24 hours instead but now it just runs for 12 hours instead.

    Any help would be great.

    Thanks
    .

      More info?

      Database server and version?

      Is DB on the same host or a dedicated server?

      If using mySQL, what are the values of your global variables/settings?

      Also, what does your system resource usage look like? Specifically, your Memory and Swapping....

          hey thanks for the reply.

          MySQL
          DB is on the zbx host.
          Version: 5.0.77

          Running with the default my.cnf, there are no performance mods in this file.

          OK so you're correct with the resources i'm running low on memory about 100MB free and its started very minimal swapping.

          I'll see if i can grab some memory.

          Any mysql tips for zabbix to help it work better?

          Thanks for taking the time.

              First things first...

              You should probably start with reading the first article (sticky) in this forum. It has a lot to do with your particular problem. Your database is becoming unwieldy for the current configuration. I would venture to guess that you are recording an inordinate amount of history that could be tuned to provide very similar usability but without the same overhead to the database. Also, it discusses things like DB configuration tuning, separating the database files into per-table files vs single consolidated file, etc...

              That alone should keep you busy for a little while, and may very well solve your problem.

                  good sticky, ive gone through it and adjusted several parameters which seems to have made it worse.

                  i think you're correct its the history which is growing too big. i get the problem but this seems like a flaw in zabbix?

                  i had zenoss running for a while on the same setup with similar metrics and this was never a problem?

                  i still want history for my graphs but it looks like zabbix can't handle much history at all?
