Zabbix stumbles over disk names changed at boot time

XMLWordPrintable

    • Type: Problem report
    • Resolution: Unresolved
    • Priority: Trivial
    • None
    • Affects Version/s: 7.0.17, 7.4.1
    • Component/s: Agent (G), Agent2 (G)
    • Environment:
      Debian 12, Zabbix 6.4.19, installed from Zabbix package repo

      The disk names Zabbix uses (eg "sda", "sdb", ...) are insufficient to monitor trends over the next reboot. These names are too volatile. See attached graph. You can exactly see when the host was rebooted and sda and sdb swapped their names.
