Zabbix newbie - monitoring SNMP enabled embedded devices

[sradhakrishna]

Hi,

I have an embedded device that is SNMP v2c enabled. I have installed Zabbix on Ubuntu and created a host to monitor this device.

While creating a host, I set the Zabbix Agent Port entry to 161. I created an item with the OID that I need to query and activated it. I created a graph for the item to check for the trend of the item.

I do not see the SNMP queries happening on my embedded device. I have verified that the SNMP queries work very well from another pc.

How can I debug to see what is wrong? Is my configuration wrong? Is there a log that I can check to see which SNMP queries are happening?

Please let me know.

Regards,
Radha.

i would try "snmpwalk" from the zabbix server command line first

I've verified that snmpwalk and snmpget do work from the zabbix server. Attached herewith are the configurations that I have for my device.

What am I doing wrong? Is it the key? Can't I give any arbitrary text for the key? How is the key used?

Atlast, got it working. Here are the settings I had to do:
