GUI: Enter the user name Admin with password zabbix to log in as a Zabbix superuser.

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

• 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>

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
