Zabbix partition optimization of Mysql optimization

The biggest bottleneck of using zabbix lies in the database. If the data storage and alarm of zabbix are well maintained, zabbix can be well used to build a monitoring system. At present, the data of zabbix is mainly stored in two tables of history and trends. As time goes by, these two tables become very large, and their performance will be very poor, which will affect the use of monitoring. Tuning MySQL can greatly improve the performance of Zabbix. This paper uses the method of partitioning MySQL for tuning.

Principle

Partition tables such as history and trends in zabbix, partition by date, one per day, and reserve partitions for 90 days.

Detailed operation steps

Operation impact: Online operation, MySQL read and write slow, Zabbix performance slow, impact time according to the small data changes, 1 generally in 2 hours or so.

Step 1

Log in to the database of zabbix server, and unify the configuration of MySQL


cat > /etc/my.cnf<<EOF
[mysqld]
datadir=/data/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
default-storage-engine = innodb
collation-server = utf8_general_ci
init-connect = 'SET NAMES utf8'
character-set-server = utf8
symbolic-links=0
max_connections=4096
innodb_buffer_pool_size=12G
max_allowed_packet = 32M
join_buffer_size=2M
sort_buffer_size=2M 
query_cache_size = 64M  
query_cache_limit = 4M  
thread_concurrency = 8
table_open_cache=1024
innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 0

long_query_time = 1
log-slow-queries =/data/mysql/mysql-slow.log 

[mysqld_safe]
log-error=/var/log/mariadb/mariadb.log
pid-file=/var/run/mariadb/mariadb.pid

#[mysql]
#socket=/data/mysql/mysql.sock
#
# include all files from the config directory
#
!includedir /etc/my.cnf.d
EOF

Note: 1 Be sure to modify innodb_buffer_pool_size= 1/3 of physical memory

Step 2

Confirm the version of zabbix first. Version 1 of zabbix must be greater than 3.2. 0 in this operation. This operation cannot be installed for versions less than 3.2, and the online default is zabbix-3. 2.6.

The above contains the stored procedure to create the partition, copy the above into partition. sql, and execute as follows:


mysql -uzabbix -pzabbix zabbix < partition.sql

b, add crontable, execute at 01:01 every day, as follows:


crontab -l > crontab.txt 
cat >> crontab.txt <<EOF
#zabbix partition_maintenance
01 01 * * * mysql -uzabbix -pzabbix zabbix -e"CALL partition_maintenance_all('zabbix')" &>/dev/null
EOF
cat crontab.txt |crontab

Note: The password part of the zabbix user of mysql is configured according to the actual environment

c, execute once first (use nohup because of the long time for first execution), as follows:


nohup  mysql -uzabbix -pzabbix zabbix -e "CALLpartition_maintenance_all('zabbix')" &> /root/partition.log&

Note: Observe the output of/root/partition. log

d, View Results

Log in to mysql and view history and other tables as follows:


MariaDB [zabbix]> showcreate table history

A large number of PARTITION fields were found, indicating that the configuration is correct. Pay attention to the Slow Query of Mysql. By the second day of operation, Slow Query will almost appear. At this time, the response speed of Dashboard of Zabbix should be very smooth.
