Re: [Zabbix-users] Zabbix - Distributed installation over Docker

[Shawn B. <sh...@ba...>]

I would like to add that I believe the prefered method for larger
environments is run most of the host a Zabbix proxy letting the proxy do
most of the heavy lifting.
In a large environment I would use the following layout:

   - Web server as a docker container will all my other internal web servers
   - Postgress DB on a seperate server with high IO capable file system
   behind it
   - Zabbix server running in a container with a few other Zabbix proxies
   running on the same server depending on the load.
   - Several other Zabbix proxies running in the various subnets

This of course all depends on the number of checks you are doing. you can
have a 1000 host being monitored with only a few infrequent checks and
still technically have a "large" environment. You can also have a 100 host
with a bunch of frequent checks on them and easily overload you servers.

Just my 2 cents on it.
