I'm newbie of Zabbix.

In my project, I'm using Zabbix to know loads of server like CPU usage. I'm going to investigate loads of poor server with using Zabbix in the future.

Then, the poor server makes me worried about investigation with Zabbix, because loads of the investigation may stop the server. So, I found an idea to decrease load of poor server. My idea is like below.

  1. Storing measurements which is collected by zabbix per second in poor server
  2. Reporting the summary of measurements per minute

Could my idea be achievable in Zabbix?

In Zabbix, you can make a new item that has the key system.cpu.load[percpu,avg1] and an update time of 1 minute (See picture).

This will query the server every minute and take the CPU stats, updating them in Zabbix. If this is your only item, the Zabbix server will only send one request to Zabbix agent every minute, thus satisfying your requirements.

  • Thank you for giving me advice! In the end, I couldn't configure Zabbix to make the agent store measurement what it collects per second to report the measurement to me per minute? – 1ma1ma1108 Nov 01 '19 at 04:07
