i havent used postgresql as backend server for monitoring my hosts yet, however, if upstream states that they may be performance problems i trust in that. I can imagine the database server to have a higher work load while using PostgreSQL.

Let the > user decide which database to use. im going to talk with Alexei (the main developer) and ask him about his opinion. As ar as i know (from the forums) there has not been a single test with PostgreSQL as Backend database during the whole 1.1 alpha stage and he succested to use MySQL (a couple of times). One solution might be to upload a package with postgresql support to experimental (as soon as its fixed) and wait for feedback. I dont want to have zabbix removed right before the next stable release due to Release Critical bugs in a premature upload supporting postgresql. I hope you can understand that :) bye, - michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
