Support of SNMP data having dynamic index, where to find it ?

[jean]

It works also for me, but I have a question.

In my case, I need to check the presence of a process, example ping.exe. When the ping is running, an entry in the SNMP tree is present, but when the process stop, the entry in the SNMP tree disappear. I could understand why, but my item status in Zabbix is Active when the ping run and Not supported when the ping stop...

How I could have an alarm in Zabbix when the status of the item become Not Supported ?

The SNMP monitoring will be extended to support number of entries matching a string/regexp at some point. So, it would return actual number of running ping.exe.

Nice for the multiple snmp entries...

But you don't have reply to my question. How I could have an alarm when the Status of the item become Not Supported ?

Did you solve this problem ? Does anyone know how to do that ?
I have the same problem and I would like to know what to do. I searched about that but I found nothing...
Thanks a lot

[jean]

No, I don't. But if someone has a solution, I am interested.

Somebody please ?

you can't currently have a trigger on item becoming unsupported. as far as i know, there are plans to introduce that, but that might be some time away.
on the other hand, you could try using zabbix_agentd - i hope it does support counting running processes.
