help for automatic discovery

[cshan]

Sorry for my poor English. I'm a rookie of Zabbix and it is really greate.
But i am perlexed about the automatic discovery. The discovery always costs a long time.
For example, I defined one discovery rule using the follow 3 checks:

1.SNMPv2 agent ".1.3.6.1.2.1.17.1.2.0"
2.SNMPv2 agent ".1.3.6.1.2.1.17.2.6.0"
3.SNMPv2 agent ".1.3.6.1.2.1.17.2.7.0"

The IP range is "192.168.1.0~255", and I set the delay as 60 seconds .

But when the device was detected, it always cost more than one hour.

I think that Zabbix will start the discovery procedure every 60 seconds, why it takes so long time to discover the device.

Set Delay (in sec)

In the discovery rule that you made change the Set Delay (in sec) to 60 instead of 3600. 3600 seconds is one hour. That will make the Zabbix server check every 60 seconds.

Also, if you are adding a host to your Zabbix server via auto discovery action you should change the Uptime/Downtime to 60 for the condition. So that if the host has been up for 60 seconds it will return true for the condition.

Thank you for you reply.

Yes, I changed the "Delay" to 60 seconds. Is it unrealistic to discover the device every 60 seconds using the cheking parameters i defined? Why it takes more than one hour until detect the device? So if the zabbix server didn't finish the discovery procedure in the first 60 seconds, but the next discovery procedure has been started (because 60 seconds has past), what will the first procedure do ? Go on checking or stop?

You are also meaning that if I do not add another action condition as Uptime/Downtime, the device discovered will not be added to host automatically?

I am sorry if i asked any stupid question.
