SNMPv1 Agent: Cannot find host interface ...

[jmusbach]

Hello, we want to monitor some attributes on our Dell servers using the OMSA SNMP interface but I have run into trouble creating a related key. I have it configured thusly:

Name: Dell Event Log Status
Type: SNMPv1 Agent
key: dell_event_log_status
SNMP OID: .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1.200.10.1.41.1
SNMP community: public
Port: 161
Type of information: Numeric (float)
Store value: Delta (simple change)
Zabbix 2.0.8

But on item creation it errors with:

Created: Item "Dell Event Log Status" on "Template OS Linux".
Cannot find host interface on "<zabbix server>" for item key "dell_event_log_status".

What's this about? OMSA is already installed on the server and a script I made can query it fine for SNMP data so what's wrong?

Thanks.

You have to create a SNMP interface for your monitored host. Unless you do that no SNMP checks can be performed.
Look in the host entry end specify it there.

Ah hm, thanks for the reply. Ended up just pushing a script to our nodes that does the snmp querying and returns results back.
