zabbix (1:1.8.1-1) unstable; urgency=low The Zabbix developers note that if Zabbix 1.8 is used with a node-based distributed setup then running these SQL queries will improve the performance of configuration syncing: MySQL: DROP INDEX node_cksum_cksum_1 ON node_cksum; CREATE INDEX node_cksum_1 on node_cksum (nodeid,cksumtype,tablename,recordid); PostgeSQL: DROP INDEX node_cksum_cksum_1; CREATE INDEX node_cksum_1 on node_cksum (nodeid,cksumtype,tablename,recordid); zabbix (1:1.8-1) unstable; urgency=low The SQL database used by Zabbix must be upgraded manually using the scripts available in /usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-{mysql,pgsql}. Zabbix will not work properly until the database upgrade is completed. -- Fabio Tranchitella Wed, 30 Dec 2009 13:32:13 +0100 zabbix (1:1.6.6-4) unstable; urgency=low The zabbix_agent has been removed which could be used to start the Zabbix agent from inetd or xinetd. It is recommended to use the zabbix_agentd instead which is a standalone agent process running permanently which is started from /etc/init.d/zabbix-agent by default. It is safe to remove the /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agent.conf. The standalone zabbix_agentd process only uses the /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf file. -- Christoph Haas Thu, 29 Oct 2009 21:28:03 +0100
