Zabbix server 6.4.12 probably bug or unefficient value cache

      Hi. I use zabbix server 6.4.12 with HA cluster (3 nodes) with Postgresql 13.7 and Elasticsearch 7.10.2 as a history storage.  

      My server config is(perfomance options)

      StartDBSyncers=100
      StartPollers=200
      StartPreprocessors=200
      StartPollersUnreachable=100
      StartHistoryPollers=100
      StartTrappers=500
      StartPingers=100
      StartDiscoverers=20
      StartHTTPPollers=5
      StartTimers=20
      StartEscalators=70
      StartAlerters=30
      SNMPTrapperFile=/var/log/snmptrap/snmptrap.log
      StartSNMPTrapper=1
      HousekeepingFrequency=1
      MaxHousekeeperDelete=10000
      CacheSize=4G
      HistoryCacheSize=128M
      HistoryIndexCacheSize=128M
      TrendCacheSize=96M
      TrendFunctionCacheSize=64M
      ValueCacheSize=3G

       

      Main data server gathers from active proxies.

      Server instances HW config:

      58 CPU 32G RAM

      Postgresql: 48 CPU 32G RAM 1.5T NVME

      Elasticsearch: 48 CPU 64G RAM 1T SSD each node in 20 nodes cluster

       

      This setup works fine until active HA node restarts. The active node changes and zabbix server starts. After that it seems like zabbix server  starts fill value cache from history storage. I check cache by runtime command diaginfo=valuecache and see that cache filling with too big amount of data for items. As far as this process going all items has a growing lag of last execution time. This occurs switching to problem state for a lot of triggers, because of nodata in items. After history loading finished, all delays are quickly released and triggers switched to recovery too. This process takes about 40-60 minutes, it's critically long time. 

       

      About HW resources usage: I see only elasticsearch have hi usage of HW resources during this process.

      For example I see in valuecache top something like this:

      Let's see this items from Top.values - (see screenshot 1)

      and item and trigger config(screenshots 2-4).

      Trigger requires just last 3 values, so i expected that for each item like this cache keeps 3 values, but it really it try keep 14082.

      All values in Top.values have the same issue.

      For example let's see one more:

      itemid:3774916 values:10006 request.values:3

      screenshots 5 -8.

      There is the same situation: we need just 3 values but keep in cache 10006 an try fill it on server start.
