• IPCop SNMP Items

• HP LaserJet Printers

Other devices may be found in the templates section of the wiki.

1. Create a New Host Item
2. Add an Item for the Host (System Uptime as an example)
   • Description: server1.example.org (I use DNS names for description YMMV)
   • Type: SNMPv1 agent
   • SNMP community: public
   • SNMP OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.1.0
   • SNMP port: 161
   • Key: hrSystemUptime.0 (or any other unique value for this item - I use the SNMP name
   • Type of information: Numeric Integer (64bit)
   • Units: s
   • Use multiplier || Custom multiplier: .01
   • Status: Active
   • Store value: As is
3. Save the Item
4. Go back to the host and set it's state to “Monitored”

This script here can be used to import data (prior 1.4) into the database or (>=1.4) to generate a xml-importfile.

To find the values or exact names of what you would like to monitor:

root@host:~# snmpwalk vpn.openforce.com -v1 -c public|grep -i ifinoctet
IF-MIB::ifInOctets.1 = Counter32: 2216
IF-MIB::ifInOctets.2 = Counter32: 2909800100
IF-MIB::ifInOctets.3 = Counter32: 0
IF-MIB::ifInOctets.4 = Counter32: 948093493
IF-MIB::ifInOctets.5 = Counter32: 252207088
IF-MIB::ifInOctets.6 = Counter32: 0
IF-MIB::ifInOctets.7 = Counter32: 0
IF-MIB::ifInOctets.8 = Counter32: 0
IF-MIB::ifInOctets.9 = Counter32: 0
IF-MIB::ifInOctets.10 = Counter32: 0
IF-MIB::ifInOctets.11 = Counter32: 0
IF-MIB::ifInOctets.12 = Counter32: 0
IF-MIB::ifInOctets.13 = Counter32: 0
IF-MIB::ifInOctets.14 = Counter32: 0
IF-MIB::ifInOctets.15 = Counter32: 0
IF-MIB::ifInOctets.16 = Counter32: 0
IF-MIB::ifInOctets.17 = Counter32: 0
IF-MIB::ifInOctets.18 = Counter32: 0
IF-MIB::ifInOctets.19 = Counter32: 0
IF-MIB::ifInOctets.20 = Counter32: 0
IF-MIB::ifInOctets.21 = Counter32: 258005245

To find the OID of the item you want to get:

root@host:~# snmpget -v1 -c public -On vpn.openforce.com ifInOctets.1
.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.1 = Counter32: 2216

Situation:

1. We want to monitor the incoming an outgoing traffic on outgoing traffic on our gateway.
2. We now that the interface of interest is eth0.
3. We have no idea what the OID could be, but we have some common sense

Solution:

• Find the OID of the value we want

root@linz:~# snmpwalk vpn.openforce.com -v1 -c public|grep -i eth0
IF-MIB::ifDescr.2 = STRING: eth0
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrDeviceDescr.1026 = STRING: network interface eth0
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunParameters.20742 = STRING: "-q eth0"
IF-MIB::ifName.2 = STRING: eth0

• Now we guess that it has to be some OID with “if” let's try “in” and “out” to get the traffic
• We guess that the ”.2” at the end has to be the identifier of “eth0” inside our interesting OIDs

snmpwalk vpn.openforce.com -v1 -c public|egrep -i 'if(in|out)'|less

• this gives us items like
• Create an item in ZABBIX

IF-MIB::ifInOctets.1 = Counter32: 2216
IF-MIB::ifInOctets.2 = Counter32: 2916915107
IF-MIB::ifInOctets.3 = Counter32: 0
IF-MIB::ifInOctets.4 = Counter32: 949315672
IF-MIB::ifInOctets.5 = Counter32: 252207088
IF-MIB::ifInOctets.6 = Counter32: 0
IF-MIB::ifInOctets.7 = Counter32: 0
IF-MIB::ifInOctets.8 = Counter32: 0

• Aha “ifInOctets” and “ifOutOctets” with the “identifier” of 2 could be what we want
  • We still want it to be nicely formatted in ZABBIX
• Let's get the numeric OID

root@host:~# snmpget -v1 -c public -On vpn.openforce.com ifInOctets.2
.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.2 = Counter32: 2917893876
root@host:~# snmpget -v1 -c public -On vpn.openforce.com ifOutOctets.2
.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.16.2 = Counter32: 735038193
