Avoiding performance issues
Once you have mastered Zabbix and your installation is up and running, there are probably some performance issues that will pop up over time. In this recipe, we will try to show you how to tweak your Zabbix for the best possible performance. Once again this is not really a recipe as not every Zabbix server is the same, but useful to check and remember when you install Zabbix.
Getting ready
For this all we need is a running Zabbix installation. We don't need to have performance issues but if you have them, I hope we can solve them with our guidelines and tips.
How to do it...
When you install Zabbix, make sure you always have the latest version of Zabbix. Each version released over the years has had major improvements; so it's very useful to update for performance considerations if not for the new features.
Upgrade your database! It doesn't matter if you run on PostgreSQL or MySQL or anything else. Databases improve and especially for MySQL, major improvements...
