SNMPTraps and Triggers

[netKIZ]

Hi all,

I'm new to Zabbix, so please bear with me.

I am getting traps to my Zabbix server, and have configured items to catch standard Linkdown, Linkup traps.

What FUNCTION(s) are available for SNMP Trap triggers? For example, I currently have this trigger expression:
{t_PIX_Common:.1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.3.str(down)}=1

Is it necessary to use "str" ?
Also, I am confused about how to use =1 and =0, what do those mean?

Thanks in advance!

All functions are described in documentation : http://www.zabbix.com/documentation/...onfig/triggers
They are not specific to SNMP traps but depend on item data type.
Since SNMP traps are strings, you can only use functions that apply to strings.

For example, I currently have this trigger expression:
{t_PIX_Common:.1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.3.str(down)}=1

Is it necessary to use "str" ?

You need to apply a function in order to do some check.
It can be str, regexp, iregexp, count,... depending on your need.

Also, I am confused about how to use =1 and =0, what do those mean?

str(down) returns 1 if 'down' is present in t_PIX_Common:.1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.3 value; 0 otherwise.

Thanks in advance!

You're welcome

Thanks, Alixen, your info is helpful.

I'm now successfully matching traps using str function.
