Auto-registration without agentd?

[nadreltips]

I work for a small WISP that needs to keep track of CPE radios that are installed in the field. I was attracted to OpenNMS at first because it could accept XML sent from the radio (which run a bare-bones embedded Linux) which could trigger a device registration. It looks like Zabbix can do this too, but from what I've read I'd have to get agentd running on the radios which is not ideal. Is there a way I could trigger a registration without agentd, using something like a bash script and netcat (which worked in OpenNMS)? This would be a one-time thing, just to register the device, as I can monitor the radios via SNMP once added.
Thanks.

Yes.
Use the DISCOVERY functionality (NOT Auto Registration).
You can easy discover new device by IP for example and add it to group, set the Template and etc.

Discovery can "discover" by ftp/ssh/http and other port/protocols.

Read doc about Discovery (not auto registration)

I was looking for something that actively adds the host when connected so we wouldn't have to wait around for a discovery. However, I looked over the docs and found the protocol info, and it shouldn't be too hard to implement in another language.
Thanks.

Ok, you can do that way.
But trust me, if you split discovery to few discovery rules, and you set small intervals, you will get host in Zabbix, before you finish installing operating system on device
