Every since I upgraded our Zabbix server to 6.0 last year, we've had an issue with intermittent flapping alerts for tmp tables being generated in MySQL . The alerts are being generated by the official Zabbix MySQL by Zabbix Agent template.
MySQL: Created tmp tables on memory per second
MySQL: Created tmp tables on disk per second
For both of which the Template's advice is very helpfully "Possibly the application using the database is in need of query optimization."
This doesn't appear to be service affecting, but it does generate noise in the form of alert e-mails, so I would like to make another try at getting to the bottom of it:
As you can see there's no obvious pattern from the last week of data:
Consolidation runs hourly which is in general the only regular task I've noticed which adds a minor bump to resource usage, otherwise usage is pretty steady 24-7.
The server itself has 80GBytes of RAM and tends to use a fairly steady 45GBytes of RAM with a pretty generous InnoDB buffer pool allocation, so I'm not currently aware of any bottlenecks at a resource or MySQL level
Here is my MySQL config:
.
Has anybody else encountered this, or can anybody give me any pointers in how to investigate further?
Thanks.
