zabbixSNMP-creator.py

[steki]

Hello,

i had to use many SNMP devices and i hated doing all stuff manually (adding items...) so i created this small stupid script for that job. Not perfect but worked for me so enjoy

-------- From File -----------
after snmpwalking some device with
snmpwalk -On -v2c -c public 192.168.1.1 > device_name.oids
start this program with next syntax:
zabbixSNMP-creator.py device.oids snmp_community_string
---------------------
device_name.xxx syntax is used for key generation so be warned
that all zabbix keys will be in form of device_name.ifOperStatus.1 and so on
---------------------

I am getting output with your script but then it ends with an error message of your script:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./zabbixSNMP-creator.py", line 147, in <module>

Hi tekknokrat,

after checking on my system (linux snmpd) it returned me same error as it happened to you reason was as that quotation mark letter on line itself
(as debug is saying to you with: at ObjectName: invalid literal for long() with base 10: '"\n' )
so quick fix would be to check in you "something.oids" for " as first letter
like this for instance grep -n ^\" mygreatpc.oids will give you exact line(s) where
it went wrong, so just fix that line(s) and it should work perfectly

example problem:

.1.3.6.1.2.1.16.1.1.1.1.2 = INTEGER: 2
.1.3.6.1.2.1.16.1.1.1.1.3 = INTEGER: 3

.1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.5.0 = Gauge32: 1
.1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.6.0 = Gauge32: 163
.1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.7.0 = INTEGER: 0

and just please patch it with code bellow as it was failing if it is missing

hi steki,

When i look in the oid file the line which causes garbage is this.

.1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.4.0 = STRING: "BOOT_IMAGE=vmlinuz initrd=rootfs rw root=/dev/ram0 init=/etc/preinit console=ttyS0,38400 console=tty0
"

Seems that snmpwalk outputs the latter quote on a newline. After joining this the creator script runs fine. Thanks

New version of zabbixSNMP-creator

================================================== ===
- New things are configurable snmp version, auth , priv passhprases and
snmp security level
- Updated script to use new xml layout
================================================== ===
Script can be downloaded from: http://github.com/bmanojlovic/zabbixSNMP-creator

zabbixSNMP-creator is python script with you can create
Zabbix items template in xml format which then can be imported
into system without manual work of creating items

Necessary tools are:
libsmi >= 0.4.8 and
pysnmp >=pysnmp-4.1.10

How to use it:

First step is to create input file with use of snmpwalk utility

snmpwalk -On -c public -v1 192.168.1.1 . > router.oids

This will create "source" file for this script with all "walked" elements
Please review this file for possible errors as some of values returned from
snmp can be multiline - fix it to be single line.

After that just follow script help

Hi,

I have a problem with generating a template for ZABBIX using your
script, when I try generate a zabbix template xml from my oids I get
some error:

./zabbixsnmp_creator.py -v -s1 -c1 -i hp1.oids -o HP-2510-48.xml
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./zabbixsnmp_creator.py", line 264, in <module>
raise UnboundLocalError("Should NOT be here - UNKNOWN TYPE
RETURNED\n\n valuetype=%s\noid=%s" % (valuetype,oidlocal))
UnboundLocalError: Should NOT be here - UNKNOWN TYPE RETURNED

valuetype=OwnerString()
oid=.1.3.6.1.2.1.16.1.1.1.20.1

I have the same error if I create snmp version 1 or 2
