Rfc-3877

[Minken]

Hi, I couldn't find the answer on the forum so i'm asking. I was wondering if Zabbix supports RFC-3877 and if something needs to be configured before it does so and also how it handles "Alarm-models" that the RFC states (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3877#section-3.2)?

Hmmm, If you can make that work via an SNMP trap then you may be able to get Zabbix to use it. Otherwise there is no direct support for that RFC.

If you can make it work via an SNMP trap, I could see something like the following being done.

First two items would be added per notification:
state (Integer, for speed), message (text, maybe log)

Then have an SNMP trap script listen for the notification. If the notification activates set the state to "on" (1), and pushes the notification message into the message item. If the script retrieves an off notification set state to "off" (0) and set the message if available.

In Zabbix have a trigger written against the state field. If the state becomes anything other than "off" (0) activate the trigger, and set the trigger message to be the last value of the message item. In the action you can set an escallation as needed, and send the trigger text. If the state item is overloaded to have more than "on" or "off" you may wish to display that as well, but that will be implementation specific.

If the above idea does not work then I would suggest opening a feature request ticket under ZBXNEXT if one has not been opened already at https://support.zabbix.com.
