    Description

      Steps to reproduce:

      1. Setup zabbix active proxy
      2. set DataSenderFrequency=10 in zabbix_proxy.conf

      Result:

      Proxy sends data roughly every second - sleeps exactly 1s between seding, often sending exactly 0 items, generating unnecessary traffic.

      Expected:

      Proxy sleeps 10s.

      Description

      Issue affects zabbix-proxy 3.4.12. I haven't verified newer versions of proxy, but source on svn://svn.zabbix.com/trunk/src/zabbix_proxy/datasender/datasender.c seems affected.

      In ZBX_THREAD_ENTRY(datasender_thread), it updates proctitle as ".. idle $CONFIG_PROXYDATA_FREQUENCY sec", but sleeps only for ZBX_TASK_UPDATE_FREQUENCY (constant 1), and then goes on again to "sending data".

      It seems to me, it should sleep CONFIG_PROXYDATA_FREQUENCY.

       
      References:

      I have searched for relevant bug reports and only found 2 semi-relevant.

      One a seemingly misguided request that was rejected.

      Change in the second one might have introduced the bug.
