Hello,

I use this housekeeping parameter :

Events and alerts :

Trigger data : 30d

Internal data : 7d

Network discovery : 10d

Auto-registration data : 10d

In zabbix-server.conf I use :

HousekeepingFrequency=1 (default)

MaxHousekeeperDelete=50000

I view in log, housekeeping work :

  9598:20190704:072400.962 housekeeper [deleted 0 hist/trends, 0 items/triggers, 889 events, 589 problems, 4161 sessions, 0 alarms, 307 audit items in 1.174269 sec, idle for 1 hour(s)]

  9598:20190704:082401.442 executing housekeeper

  9598:20190704:082402.841 housekeeper [deleted 0 hist/trends, 0 items/triggers, 996 events, 608 problems, 4139 sessions, 0 alarms, 309 audit items in 1.375762 sec, idle for 1 hour(s)]

  9598:20190704:092403.327 executing housekeeper

  9598:20190704:092404.534 housekeeper [deleted 0 hist/trends, 0 items/triggers, 868 events, 593 problems, 4140 sessions, 0 alarms, 312 audit items in 1.196285 sec, idle for 1 hour(s)]

I have not CPU overloaded or error on postgresql logs.

I monitoring events table size, it's alway grow up.

For check, I look for find old rows on database (order by clock ASC).

I find old rows on database associate with internal proxy event.

Old event/problem date from more than 30days.

It's not displayed on "Problem screen". (2 years in zoom)
