In this chapter, you got to know a little more about the possibilities of, and need for adjustments to the Zabbix server. It is important to realize that many performance problems can be solved by adjusting the Zabbix server's settings.

Also, it has been seen that since version 1.8, Zabbix SIA seeks to control the flow of data by manipulating information in caches and buffers to minimize the need for reading and writing to the disk. So, we need to control the main configuration parameters related to caches and buffers. Another relevant point is related to the default templates that Zabbix uses. This practice should be avoided, or else it may cause performance issues in medium and large environments. This is also no less important: we have information about data retention time and the types of items. These settings directly affect environmental performance.

In the next chapter, we will discuss the main MySQL configuration parameters that are directly related to the performance of Zabbix...
