SNMP v2 OID Assistance

[DSCIAdmin]

Greetings,

First and foremost I'm super new to Zabbix/SNMP and I'm having a little difficulty with some custom SNMP polling. To test with, and to get the hang of the Zabbix application, I have been setting up a couple of test devices which to receive data from.

Currently, I'm testing a few OIDs from the Windows Server default DHCP.mib and when using a 3rd-party MIB browser I am able to poll/query the "noAddFree" object (numeric OID - .1.3.6.1.4.1.311.1.3.2.1.1.3) which returns the correct values. Where I'm hung up is in the configuration of Zabbix Items. What I have configured for a test Item is the following:

Name: JustAName
Type: SNMPv2 agent
Key: AUniqueIdentifier
Host Int: [email protected] : 161
SNMP OID: .1.3.6.1.4.1.311.1.3.2.1.1.3
SNMP Community: justAStringOfText
Port: 161
Type of Info: Numeric (unsigned)
Data Type: Decimal
Units:
Use Custom Multiplier: 1
Update Interval: 10 (because I am looking to get data as soon as possible)
...
all other entries are default.

Once the Item has been configured, I'm seeing it listed in the item list as "Not Supported". Is there a reason this would not be supported or am I not configuring the Item properly?

Any guidance for a nb would be very much appreciated.

Cheers!

Hi !

Did you configure Windows SNMP agent something like bellow ? :

To be sure that you can get any data from Windows Server on Zabbix Server, use snmpwalk command line utility.
To install snmpwalk on Redhat use the command yum install net-snmp-utils

snmpwalk -v 2c -c public  [email protected] 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.1.3.2.1.1.3

It's quite possible that your correct OID will have a zero as a final symbol of OID
like that: 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.1.3.2.1.1.3.0

So, my advice is:
- check SNMP daemon settings on Windows Server (as critex told you)
- check that you can collect information from Windows server to Zabbix server, using snmpwalk
- check the correct name of OID from snmpwalk output.

Thanks for the headsup, Critex, I have indeed properly configured my environment for SNMP. My issue was/is with Zabbix polling the OID where 3rd-party apps return the correct result when polling the same OID; therefore, I believe it is a config issue within the Zabbix app.

Thanks Aib. I have verified all of the line items specified and can in fact poll the original OID using snmpwalk:



I'm inclined to think, as originally thought, there is an issue with my config of the Item:



Any additional thoughts?

Bump.

I have still been unable to resolve this issue. Being very new to Zabbix, I am unsure where to look to resolve this issue. I'm able to get the results using SNMP, however, I am unable to get Zabbix to report this... perhaps I am not using the correct graph/report?

Any additional help would be greatly appreciated
