Dear Jonathan,
I have read the Zabbix documentation you provided.
The minimum requirement for Zabbix is 2 vCPUs and 8 GB of RAM.
Looks like my Virtual Private Server (VPS) in Tokyo, Japan doesn't meet the
minimum requirements for Zabbix.
My VPS only has 1 vCPU and 1 GB of RAM. Immensely inferior.
But upgrading the VPS until it meets the minimum Zabbix requirements is very
very expensive.
Thank you.
