short usage tips

usage
single device mode:
php snmp-zabbix.php ip_address_there xml_name_there
i.e. php snmp-zabbix.php 1.2.3.4 server1.xml
bulk mode:
php snmp-zabbix.php ip_address1 ip_address2 ... ip_address99999
(I'm not sure about your system limitations for parameter's list length)
i.e. php snmp-zabbix.php 1.2.3.4 1.2.3.5 2.3.4.5 5.6.7.8 1.3.5.7

current version limitations
1. uses snmp v2, and hardcoded community "public".
2. hardcoded xml filename in bulk mode.

output
software produces XML file, which you should import into zabbix in host import page.

feel free to ask if you have any questions or report bugs.

ps:
You can easily change "public" community string in code into something what you use. I mean code does not use any obfuscation and not encoded.
I can't imagine simple way for specify community string for each device.

Hi slavik,

I change a community in code to my network. I run a script and receive this error below:

php snmp-zabbix.php 10.7.1.16 teste.xml
PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function snmpwalk() in /var/www/html/snmp-zabbix.php on line 318

Code on line 318:

function getifs()
{
        global $deviceip, $snmp_community_string;
        //$snmpcmd="snmpwalk -v 2c -c $snmp_community_string -O qv $deviceip";
        $result=snmpwalk("$deviceip", "$snmp_community_string", "IF-MIB::ifIndex");
        return $result;
}

Thanks for reply!

[slavik]

You can't comment this line (snmpwalk(...)) out.
You should compile/install php with snmp support anyway.
PS: this is because exec("snmpwalk ...") returns only single line, and snmpget(...) doesn't works with HC (HighCapacity, Counter64) items.

[slavik]

beatsstudio, show me error.
ps: in last version php must compiled/installed with snmp support always.

update

current version limitations
1. uses snmp v2, and hardcoded community "public".

after running "php snmp-zabbix.php 10.100.100.251 firewall1.xml"

but how where can i see the imported "firewall1.xml".

I just cannot see the imported file under templates.

Please guide me if i am wrong.

hi dantony79
You should see in "hosts" host with ip=10.100.100.251. If xml contains something usual of course. otherwise, you should see some errors as result of import.

Thanks slavik, this is a very handy tool. I've modded my copy around a bit for my purposes, but I wanted to highlight one in particular.

In function asksnmp, there is a line:
if (FALSE==$result) return NULL;

I found that the created XML template didn't have all items for things such as interface errors. Instead, it only had the items for ports that currently had errors.

Changing the line above to FALSE === $result (3 equals signs) corrects this.

Thanks!

[slavik]

Maybe a more clear explanation would help.
