Add SNMP Items from ADD/Edit HOST

[Chuwbacca]

Hi all... I made some modifications of zabbix 1.6.2 for automatically and fast adding some basic SNMP monitoring (device info, interfaces type, speed, etc), without using templates and with some ports autodetection...
Please, post bugs and futures requests here.

To add SNMP-items to host just modify or add host (new checkbox near IPMI settings).

You must apply patches at web-server and copy "addsnmp.inc.php" to include dir.

Changelog:
v.0.02
Added selection of snmp community before add.
Added snmp version selection (v1 or v2).

v.0.01
Initial release.

You can get ifType descriptions from here. And then add value mapping...

Yes Please!

Excellent idea. I've been hacking around with a perl script that creates XML templates, but this is a much more sensible way of doing it.

Good, good. This is a thing which is pulling the host adding process in right direction. It's a bit wrong to create 48 templates with 8 items just to add support for monitoring for some switch. And then... at some point you must make some changes... and loop trough 48 templates (theoretically doing it manualy ).

I love the idea and it would be nice for future versions of Zabbix (1.6.3+ or at least 1.8). I did have some problems using it though.

I patched all the php files, changed permissions (just in case), replaced my originals, and copied the "addsnmp.inc.php" into the include directory. When I first tried to add a new host using the new SNMP check box I just got an empty page after I hit "SAVE". The standard Zabbix header was still there and I tried to go back to the host configuration to see if it added it, but it didn't show. I then went back to Monitoring->Dashboard and my System Status area would never load. I had to revert back to the 1.6.2 original files and even restarted Zabbix_server and Apache to make sure it was clear.

I tried it again just to be sure that I didn't miss something and even manually went through the files to make sure that they were patched, but it did the same thing. I have a vanilla 1.6.2 setup that I did compile SNMP into it and am currently monitoring some SMNP hosts. Any suggestions? Bug perhaps?

Thanks for any help.

Hi Chuwbacca,

I like this way of adding basic metrics from snmp hosts in zabbix.
I gave your patches a try and stumbled the problem that functions
are not defined in addsnmp.inc.php:

snmp_set_oid_numeric_print(1) and snmprealwalk are not defined but only called on line 137 and 138.

Further Errors (after comment out of these functions):
