MySQL Database Partitioning:
关于zabbix和MySQL分区表 - 支持zabbix 2.0和2.2，mysql在有外键的表不支持分区表。在zabbix 2.0和2.2中history和trend表没有使用外键，因此是可以在这些表中做分区的。
Index changes:
1.如果zabbix的数据库已经有了数据，更改索引可能需要一些时间，根据具体的数据量，需要的时间长短也不一样。
2.在某些版本的MySQL索引的改变会使整个表上读锁。貌似mysql 5.6没有这个限制。
所述第一步骤是修改几个索引以允许做分区，按照下面的命令：
mysql> Alter table history_text drop primary key, add index (id), drop index history_text_2, add index history_text_2 (itemid, id);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.49 sec)
Records: 0 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
mysql> Alter table history_log drop primary key, add index (id), drop index history_log_2, add index history_log_2 (itemid, id);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (2.71 sec)
Records: 0 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
Stored Procedures：
下面开始填写存储过程，需要执行下面的几个存储过程语句，只要能看到"Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)"只能就没有什么问题了。

Using the stored procedures：
存储过程执行完成之后，现在是要如何使用存储过程了，使用类似下面的SQL：
CALL partition_maintenance(‘<zabbix_db_name>‘, ‘<table_name>‘, <days_to_keep_data>, <hourly_interval>, <num_future_intervals_to_create>)
这有几点需要注意：
1.上面的存储过程使用了变量，所以你需要提供zabbix数据库的库名，表名作为参数。
2.这个存储过程的变化依赖时间间隔，以小时为时间间隔。
3.当你使用时，需要明确分区的时间间隔，比如一天一个分区，时间间隔就是24，一个小时一个分区那么时间间隔就是1.
4.num_future_intervals_to_create是基于hourly_interval。比如你想创建14天的未来的分区来保存数据。如果你设置的时间间隔是24(一天一个分区)那么num_future_intervals_to_create就是14,如果你设置的时间间隔是1(一个小时一个分区)那么num_future_intervals_to_create就是336(24*14).
5.如果设置的时间间隔是一直变化的，只会影响到新的分区，已经存在的分区不会改变。
1.如果时间间隔变小，可能得到这样的错误==> "ERROR 1493 (HY000): VALUES LESS THAN value must be strictly increasing for each partition".建议是先删除所有的未来的分区再变更时间间隔。
mysql> CALL partition_maintenance(‘zabbix‘, ‘history‘, 28, 24, 14);
+-----------------------------------------------------------+
| msg |
+-----------------------------------------------------------+
| partition_create(zabbix,history,p201404160000,1397718000) |
+-----------------------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.39 sec)
。。。。
Query OK, 0 rows affected, 1 warning (2.04 sec)
提高调用存储过程：
可以使用下面的存储过程来提高调用：
DELIMITER $$
CREATE PROCEDURE `partition_maintenance_all`(SCHEMA_NAME VARCHAR(32))
BEGIN
CALL partition_maintenance(SCHEMA_NAME, ‘history‘, 28, 24, 14);
CALL partition_maintenance(SCHEMA_NAME, ‘history_log‘, 28, 24, 14);
CALL partition_maintenance(SCHEMA_NAME, ‘history_str‘, 28, 24, 14);
CALL partition_maintenance(SCHEMA_NAME, ‘history_text‘, 28, 24, 14);
CALL partition_maintenance(SCHEMA_NAME, ‘history_uint‘, 28, 24, 14);
CALL partition_maintenance(SCHEMA_NAME, ‘trends‘, 730, 24, 14);
CALL partition_maintenance(SCHEMA_NAME, ‘trends_uint‘, 730, 24, 14);
END$$
DELIMITER ;
上面的会调用partition_maintenance这个存储过程，history和trends表都是按天进行分区，history保存28天数据，trends表保存730天数据。
调用的话就是这样：
mysql> CALL partition_maintenance_all(‘zabbix‘);
+----------------+--------------------+
| table | partitions_deleted |
+----------------+--------------------+
| zabbix.history | N/A |
+----------------+--------------------+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)
....
....
....
+--------------------+--------------------+
| table | partitions_deleted |
+--------------------+--------------------+
| zabbix.trends_uint | N/A |
+--------------------+--------------------+
1 row in set (22.85 sec)
Query OK, 0 rows affected, 1 warning (22.85 sec)
Zabbix Housekeeper changes：
使用分区表需要关闭zabbix的history/trends的housekeeper。
Zabbix 2.0.x：
关闭housekeeper需要变更zabbix_server.conf配置文件：DisableHousekeeping=1.关闭了housekeeper，old events, audit entries, and user sessions也无法删除了。
Zabbix 2.2.x：
ZABBIX 2.2引入了更精确的housekeeper。所有的housekeeper配置在zabbix的web端更改，"Administration" -> "General" ，选择"Housekeeping" ，确保history和trends栏的"Enable internal housekeeping"的对勾去掉。
最后：
不要让这些表超时了你设置的提前创建的分区，比如14天，这些表在未来的14天内是没有问题的，但是到第15天就会出错，所以要在14天前提前创建分区表。比如在crontab里面添加一条：
#每天14点30分执行一次
30 14 * * * mysql zabbix -e "CALL partition_maintenance_all(‘zabbix‘);"
