en	## NAME zabbix\_server - Zabbix server daemon [ ]{#lbAC}

en	## SYNOPSIS **zabbix\_server** \[**-c** *config-file*\]\ **zabbix\_server** \[**-c** *config-file*\] **-R** *runtime-option*\ **zabbix\_server** \[**-c** *config-file*\] **-T**\ **zabbix\_server -h**\ **zabbix\_server -V** [ ]{#lbAD}

en	## DESCRIPTION **zabbix\_server** is the core daemon of Zabbix software. [ ]{#lbAE}

en	## OPTIONS **-c**, **--config** *config-file* Use the alternate *config-file* instead of the default one. **-f**, **--foreground** Run Zabbix server in foreground. **-R**, **--runtime-control** *runtime-option* Perform administrative functions according to *runtime-option*. **-T**, **--test-config** Validate configuration file and exit. **-h**, **--help** Display this help and exit. **-V**, **--version** Output version information and exit. Examples of running Zabbix server with command line parameters: ```yaml zabbix_server -c /usr/local/etc/zabbix_server.conf zabbix_server --help zabbix_server -V ``` [ ]{#lbAF}

en	##### RUNTIME CONTROL Runtime control options: **config\_cache\_reload** Reload configuration cache. Ignored if cache is being currently loaded. Default configuration file (unless **-c** option is specified) will be used to find PID file and signal will be sent to process, listed in PID file. **snmp\_cache\_reload** Reload SNMP cache, clear the SNMP properties (engine time, engine boots, engine id, credentials) for all hosts. **housekeeper\_execute** Execute the housekeeper. Ignored if housekeeper is being currently executed. **trigger_housekeeper\_execute** Execute the trigger housekeeper (remove problems for deleted triggers). Ignored if trigger housekeeper for services is being currently executed. **diaginfo**\[=*section*\] Log internal diagnostic information of the specified section. Section can be *historycache*, *preprocessing*, *alerting*, *lld*, *valuecache*, *locks*. By default diagnostic information of all sections is logged. **ha_status** Log high availability (HA) cluster status.

Ignored if housekeeper is being currently executed. **trigger_housekeeper\_execute** Start the trigger housekeeping procedure. Ignored if the trigger housekeeping procedure is currently in progress. **diaginfo**\[=*section*\] Log internal diagnostic information of the specified section. Section can be *historycache*, *preprocessing*, *alerting*, *lld*, *valuecache*. By default diagnostic information of all sections is logged. **ha_status** Log high availability (HA) cluster status.

en	**ha\_remove\_node**\[=*target*\] Remove the high availability (HA) node specified by its name or ID. Note that active/standby nodes cannot be removed. **ha\_set\_failover\_delay**\[=*delay*\] Set high availability (HA) failover delay. Time suffixes are supported, e.g. 10s, 1m. **proxy\_config\_cache\_reload**\[=*target*\] Reload proxy configuration cache. **secrets\_reload** Reload secrets from Vault. **service\_cache\_reload** Reload the service manager cache. **prof\_enable**\[=*target*\] Enable profiling. Affects all processes if target is not specified. Enabled profiling provides details of all rwlocks/mutexes by function name. **prof\_disable**\[=*target*\] Disable profiling. Affects all processes if target is not specified. **log\_level\_increase**\[=*target*\] Increase log level, affects all processes if target is not specified **log\_level\_decrease**\[=*target*\] Decrease log level, affects all processes if target is not specified [ ]{#lbAG}
nb-no	**ha\_remove\_node**\[=*target*\] Remove the high availability (HA) node specified by its name or ID.

Time suffixes are supported, e.g. 10s, 1m. **proxy\_config\_cache\_reload**\[=*target*\] Reload proxy configuration cache. **secrets\_reload** Reload secrets from Vault. **service\_cache\_reload** Reload the service manager cache. **prof\_enable**\[=*target*\] Enable profiling. Affects all processes if target is not specified. Enabled profiling provides details of all rwlocks/mutexes by function name. Supported since Zabbix 6.0.13. **prof\_disable**\[=*target*\] Disable profiling. Affects all processes if target is not specified. Supported since Zabbix 6.0.13. **log\_level\_increase**\[=*target*\] Increase log level, affects all processes if target is not specified **log\_level\_decrease**\[=*target*\] Decrease log level, affects all processes if target is not specified [ ]{#lbAG}
