Zabbix-server process does not terminate

Once I updated Ubuntu server and Zabbix-server by running apt update, apt upgrade, after the update was complete I agreed to restart all updated services, but Zabbix-server continued to be running for 20 minutes and did not restart.

Zabbix ERROR 1273 (HY000) at line 483: Unknown collation: ‘utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci’

One day I was migrating a Zabbix server database to another server and an error occurred:

Monitoring mdadm in Zabbix

I will give an example of simple monitoring of a mdadm software raid in Zabbix.

Can’t open PID file /run/zabbix/zabbix_server.pid (yet?) after start: No such file or directory

Once, on Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS, I updated the Zabbix server to version 6.0 LTS and the new version did not start.

Monitoring Linux directory size in Zabbix

One day I needed to monitor the size of a directory in Zabbix and create a trigger so that Zabbix would notify when the directory size increases.

Zabbix: icmpping “Ping item must have target or host interface specified”

Once I upgraded Zabbix to version 6.4 and noticed that the “Template ICMP Ping” template stopped working on new devices, it continued to work on old ones, but if you add a new device, a warning was displayed:

Zabbix. Upgrading the database to primary keys

Starting with Zabbix 6.0, primary keys are used for all tables in new installations, but since I upgraded Zabbix server to version 6.4, I had to manually update the tables after the upgrade.

Before updating, first of all, open the menu “Report” – “System Information” and make sure that the keys are not used, this will be indicated by the entry – “Database history tables use primary key – No”, if the keys are used, then this entry simply will not be.
