I ran into an issue where the Zabbix DB was expanding by around 10gb a month, which ate up my space over time. After digging into the /var/lib/mysql and found an excessive amount of binlog (binary log) files. Checking the usage with "sudo du -h", I was able to see that the binlogs were taking 200gb. We set up log rotate to resolve and deleted the old files.
