1 Zabbix server

Overview

The parameters supported by the Zabbix server configuration file (zabbix_server.conf) are listed in this section.

The parameters are listed without additional information. Click on the parameter to see the full details.

All parameters are non-mandatory unless explicitly stated that the parameter is mandatory.

Note that:

• The default values reflect daemon defaults, not the values in the shipped configuration files;
• Values support environment variables;
• Zabbix supports configuration files only in UTF-8 encoding without BOM;
• Comments starting with "#" are only supported in the beginning of the line.

Parameter details

Note that if ExportType is specified, but ExportDir is not, then this is a configuration error and the server will not start.

Example for history and trends export:

ExportType=history,trends

Example for event export only:

ExportType=events

ExternalScripts

The location of external scripts (depends on the datadir compile-time installation variable).

Default: /usr/local/share/zabbix/externalscripts

Default: uint,dbl,str,log,text

HousekeepingFrequency

This parameter determines how often Zabbix will perform the housekeeping procedure in hours. Housekeeping is removing outdated information from the database.
Note: To prevent housekeeper from being overloaded (for example, when history and trend periods are greatly reduced), no more than 4 times HousekeepingFrequency hours of outdated information are deleted in one housekeeping cycle, for each item. Thus, if HousekeepingFrequency is 1, no more than 4 hours of outdated information (starting from the oldest entry) will be deleted per cycle.
Note: To lower load on server startup housekeeping is postponed for 30 minutes after server start. Thus, if HousekeepingFrequency is 1, the very first housekeeping procedure after server start will run after 30 minutes, and will repeat with one hour delay thereafter.
It is possible to disable automatic housekeeping by setting HousekeepingFrequency to 0. In this case the housekeeping procedure can only be started by housekeeper_execute runtime control option and the period of outdated information deleted in one housekeeping cycle is 4 times the period since the last housekeeping cycle, but not less than 4 hours and not greater than 4 days.
See also runtime control options.

Footnotes

¹ Note that too many data gathering processes (pollers, unreachable pollers, ODBC pollers, HTTP pollers, Java pollers, pingers, trappers, proxypollers) together with IPMI manager, SNMP trapper, preprocessing workers, and discovery workers can exhaust the per-process file descriptor limit for the preprocessing manager.

² When a lot of items are deleted it increases the load to the database, because the housekeeper will need to remove all the history data that these items had. For example, if we only have to remove 1 item prototype, but this prototype is linked to 50 hosts and for every host the prototype is expanded to 100 real items, 5000 items in total have to be removed (1*50*100). If 500 is set for MaxHousekeeperDelete (MaxHousekeeperDelete=500), the housekeeper process will have to remove up to 2500000 values (5000*500) for the deleted items from history and trends tables in one cycle.
