Configuration

Zabbix

  1. Add Host (Define host to be supervised)
  2. Add Item (Ping check: Simple check → icmpping)
  3. Define macro {$SNMP_COMMUNITY} value private
  4. Create Item e.g.
    • Name: Serial Number
    • Type: SNMP v2 agent
    • Key: serialNumber → (see private MIB Router)
    • SNMP OID: SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.31496.10.40.3.0
      • See private MIB: enterprises.31496, 10 = products, 40 = admin, 3 = serialNumber, 0 (???- index)

Administration→Scripts “Name” is a path describing the menu structure To execute a script left-click on the host GPS Positions via SNMP Triggers

NetModule Router

  • Administartive status: enabled
  • Operation mode: v1|v2c|v3
  • Contact/Location: <optional>
  • Listening port: 161
  • Read community: public
  • Admin access: enabled
    • Admin community: private
    • Allowed host: 0.0.0.0 (= all) or <IP of Zabbix Server>

NetModule Router Template

SNMP Builder is an add-in for Zabbix. It provides new web interface components to browse MIB trees and values. SNMP OIDs can then be automatically converted into Zabbix items and inserted into a template. The underlying snmpbuilder script uses calls to NetSNMP in order to communicate with devices on the network. External Link
