    SNMP Community Change

    Hi Experts,

    I was searching around and can't seem to find what I was looking for.
    May I know if there is a *.conf file that will need to be edited just in case we want to configure a different community string aside from the default which is public?

    I've seen some threads talking about changing the community string on the ITEMS>{$SNMP_COMMUNITY}m but this is per item, is there something that we can change this will all the items created in 1 file.

    Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you.

    I think Zabbix comes with a pre-defined global user macro '{$SNMP_COMMUNITY}' that is set to 'public'.

    As long as this macro is used for every SNMP based item you want the community string to be changed, you just have to update this global user macro.

    See system-wide macros and User macros for details.
    The example of user macro inheritance in this post might be interesting too.
