 Description   

In case if we convert a clean db (just created and filled by config data) to DM mode and start to use it then server generates IDs like 100000000000001 in tables events, alerts and may be other.

Note first part "1000" which should be "1001" for NodeID=1 according to specification https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.2/manual/appendix/faq

Of course it's not critical, but it can mislead in case of troubleshooting and investigation some mysterious problems.

I'm not sure what we have to do with this.
Maybe we could document it somehow on the doc page.

For example issues where we can see such IDs: ZBX-7365, ZBX-6880
I was also surprised for these IDs here: https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBX-5929#comment-94097

Ids like nnncccxxxxxxxxxxxxx used only for configuration tables like items, hosts etc. For historical data used ids like nnnxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. It's not a bug.

I'm closing the issue.

Thanks Aleksander.

Such a detail is not documented, unfortunately
I'll try to document it later.

Actually the picture is not consistent - it depends when database has been converted to DM.

These details added on https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.2/manual/appendix/faq
Would be nice to review.
