How to SNMP Monitoring under Zabbix 1.8.x

[Guest]

Hi

Im looking around for description, where i can setup the snmp option under Zabbix 1.8.x.
I have added some Windows 2003 Server, and add SNMP V2 Template for one Server (testing), but they dont create any network-graphic.
With the freeware tool "Paessler snmp-tester" - i recieve a lot of snmp oid´s.
If i use snmpwalk 1xx.x.x.x public for zabbix console, i didnt recieve anything.

What have i to do, to enable successful the snmp feature ?
Im Looking also for "how to change the community string und Zabbix 1.8.x"
Exist also a description "how to enable snmp feature by any Linux Clients/Server ?"

thanks
Greeting Jochen

Please try below command from command line:

snmpwalk -c <Community String> -v 2c <Host IP> <OID>

Make sure you are allowed to poll the information with the provided community string.

"how to change the community string und Zabbix 1.8.x"

Goto--> configuration --> Host --> Template --> item

While you edit the snmp item thier is field with the name SNMP community

I have added some Windows 2003 Server, and add SNMP V2 Template for one Server (testing), but they dont create any network-graphic.

Check whether you are able to collect the data. If data is not available what it will plot.

For enabling the snmp you required an root permission.
Edit file: /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf and add the line:

rocommunity <community string>

Then restart the snmpd service:

/etc/init.d/snmpd restart


Thanks

Hello,

I added a new community like you recommend above:

# echo "rocommunity yyyy zz" >> /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf

I restared snmpd agent.

I tried to reach a new device running:

# snmpwalk -v1 x.x.x.x -c 'yyyy zz'
Timeout: No Response from x.x.x.x

I have others devices in the same sub-net with public community and I can reach them without any problem.

Any thought? How can I fix this issue?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Are you able to do telent to the device from the Zabbix Server
like telnet 1.1.1.1 161 , if not enable the telenet

Thanks,

Thanks for the reply.

Telnet it was my first try, but it is not enabled.

As telnet is not available between those network, I can't check if the port is listen correctly.

I have switches where is working properly SNMP monitoring and telnet is not working either....

Hey,
Can you post u r snmp Configuration on server as well as the remote server which u r trying to monitor

Thanks,
Subbu

Hi Zubbu,

Really, I have almost default /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf. I am attaching the file here. I added at the end our community.

I am trying to connect against a SW Brocade is not a server.

Hi.

You have rules limited to only system view.

To view full subtree:

SNMP configuration examples
Default settings
You can view only systemview subtree .1.3.6.1.2.1.1
View whole subtree
1. Change lines as follows:
Current lines:
view systemview included .1.2.6.1.2.1.1
view systemview included .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.1
Add line:
view all included .1
Change line:
access notConfigGroup “” any noauth exact systemview none none
To:
access notConfigGroup “” any noauth exact all none none
2. Save the file.
3. Restart the service:
# service snmpd restart
Change community string (default is “public”)
Change line:
com2sec notConfigUser default public
To:
com2sec notConfigUser default anything_you_need

Still not working properly

Thanks anyway.

I am trying to connect against a SW Brocade.

Have you verified SNMP is configured on your Brocade switch?
Be sure you use the community string configured on the Brocade switch, and the correct version configured

zabbix-server# snmpwalk -v [2c | 1 ] -c <brocade's community string> <brocade ip>


Hope this helps.

It is not working. Thanks anyway.

Are you able to do telent to the device from the Zabbix Server
like telnet 1.1.1.1 161

SNMP is UDP, telnet is TCP, so this will not test SNMP.

I am lost

Now I have set up the community correctly. If I run the command "snmpwalk -v 1 -c "My comm" x.x.x.x" I got a reply.

Anyway, I enabled the switch into Zabbix and I can't collect the status.

Any idea why?

Thx!!

Weird situation

If I run the command : #snmpwalk -v 2c -c "My Community" x.x.x.x
I receive the list of OID available to this Switch.

If I enable this device into the Zbx GUI, I receive "Timeout while connecting to: [x.x.x.x:161].

Telnet is not responding. But we have another SW brocade and Zabbix can monitor them without issues.

Any suggestion?
