      No matter what VMwareCacheSize is set (from 128 MB to 2G) after about 24-48h of Zabbix running, it crashes.

      According to logs, the cache is too small BUT, on the Self Monitoring Zabbix Cache Graph (atached) there is a lot of free space in VMware Cache.

      Or there is some memory leak in cache or internal items can't correctly read the cache capacity.
