The server log file grows at an awful rate, if you start the server and the agent without applying the SQL dumps.

Although it is basically a user's fault, it's a nasty behaviour.

• Install Postgresql- and Zabbix server
• Initialize PG cluster, create database and user, set a working authentication mechanism
• Start the Zabbix server without dumping in the SQL
• See the Zabbix server log grow by around 1 kB/s.

Log level is 3 ("warnings"). With this rate of growth you'd expect around 86 MB per day.

• Start the Zabbix agent
• See the Zabbix server log grow by 8 MB/s.

This rate of growth yields around 691 GB per day. Sudden death for my /var filesystem!
