      I've noticed some flooding in my postgresql server logs, caused by zabbix, on continuing a failed transaction. Here are some log details from the very beginning:
      Dec 2 16:26:23 pgdb1 postgres[67695]: [2-1] ERROR: deadlock detected
      Dec 2 16:26:23 pgdb1 postgres[67695]: [2-2] DETAIL: Process 67695 waits for ShareLock on transaction 586724714; blocked by process 67700.

      Dec 2 16:26:23 pgdb1 postgres[67695]: [3-2] STATEMENT: select nextid from ids where nodeid=0 and table_name='events' and field_name='eventid'

      And it just went on, and produced a 768MB log file, when I restarted zabbix.

      Could you please add some checks whether current transaction is alive or not?

      If the transaction is failed, a zabbix panic wouldn't prefered, later try-again would be better, especially in the case i've just pasted (deadlock)
