There are as many as two dozen Zabbix server process (when we use the ps -ef command to see under the operating system tend to see a lot of zabbix system processes, and these processes within the system called zabbix examples. These examples are everywhere responsible for different work on the formation of different types of process), various types of process description is as follows:
Alarm (alerter) - This type of process is used to send alert notifications;
Synchronizer Configuration (configuration syncer) - for configuring the configuration information synchronized to the file cache memory;
Data transmitter (data sender) - Process for transmitting data server proxy node (server side without such processes);
Watchdog database (db watchdog) - the state monitoring process for zabbix database system, when the state of the database becomes unavailable, sending a warning message (Agent server does not support this type of process).
Automatic Discovery (discoverer) - for automatic discovery process equipment;
Step (escalator) - process step for operation in the process;
Heartbeat transmitter (heartbeat sender) - proxy server is configured to send heartbeat messages side (the server does not process this type);
Historical data synchronizer (history syncer) - used to write historical data table;
Butler (housekeeper) - used to clean historical data expired process;
HTTP poller (http poller) - polling for web monitoring program category;
Ping checker (icmp pinger) - ICMP PING is used to periodically check;
ipmi poller (ipmi poller) - for periodic inspection ipmi monitoring items;
java poller (java poller) - java monitoring program for polling;
Distributed Node guard device (node watcher) - for sending process historical data and configuration information is updated in a different distributed nodes;
Poller (poller) - Polling for the general passive monitoring projects;
Polling the server agent (proxy poller) - for passively polling the server agent;
Self-monitoring (self-monitoring) - for collecting information within Zabbix monitoring system;
Timer (timer) - for functions and processes dealing with triggers is also time-dependent maintenance mode;
Into a device (trapper) - for processing active collection, and distributed into a communication node or between the proxy server;
Unreachable poller (unreachable poller) - can not be used to achieve the polling device;
vmware collector (vmware collector) - responsible for collecting data from the vmware service process (this type of process does not support server-side proxy);
Available mode parameters comprising:
avg-- type specified mean all processes;
count-- Returns the number of types of processes that are created;
max-- maximum value;
min-- minimum;
- process number, see the meaning of "description" in the;
Available state parameter comprising:
Busy (busy) - indicate a busy state of the process;
Idle (idle) - means that the process is in an idle state;
