Component/s: Documentation (D)
Hello Zabbix Documentation Team,
I would like to report a possible typo in the Zabbix 8.0 (devel) documentation.
Documentation page:
https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/devel/en/manual/concepts/server#housekeeping-procedure
The documentation currently states:
For network discovery - removes outdated discovery events from the problems table.
However, the source code appears to indicate that network discovery housekeeping removes records from the events table.
Source code references
- Network discovery housekeeping is executed by the housekeeper
https://git.zabbix.com/projects/ZBX/repos/zabbix/browse/src/zabbix_server/housekeeper/housekeeper_server.c?at=refs%2Ftags%2F8.0.0beta1#1107 - Network discovery housekeeping is configured to process the events table
{"events", "eventid", "source=%d and object=%d", &cfg.hk.events_mode, &cfg.hk.events_trigger, HOUSEKEEPER_PERIOD}, - The housekeeping implementation processes event IDs for deletion
https://git.zabbix.com/projects/ZBX/repos/zabbix/browse/src/zabbix_server/housekeeper/trigger_housekeeper.c?at=8.0.0beta1#80
This implementation also appears to operate on event records rather than entries in the problems table.
Based on the above references, it seems that the following documentation text:
For network discovery - removes outdated discovery events from the problems table.
should instead be:
For network discovery - removes outdated discovery events from the events table.
Could you please verify whether this is a documentation typo?
Thank you.
