SNMP Discovery not running? not sure.

[m2mexpert]

Greetings.

I am a brand new Zabbix user. Setting up a test server to kick the tires and such. I've run into a roadblock that I hope someone can help me resolve.

I'm running Zabbix 2.4 on Ubuntu 14.04. I have a MAC, 1 Win 7, 1 Win 8.1 and 2 different linux systems to to test with.

I have been able to get the Zabbix agent to work on each system and now I'm trying to test the SNMP.

Using this as a guide:

http://projectdaenney.org/blog/2012/10/14/zabbix-baby-steps-part-1/

I have set up snmp agents on all the systems and can snmpwalk each system. However, I do not seem to get anything by using the SNMP discovery configuration as outlined in the tutorial above. I don't see anything in the logs to indicate an issue but as I said, I'm new so I might be missing some log somewhere.

Even though the discovery rule is enabled.... it acts like it's disabled. I'm sure that some additional information is needed but not sure what to post so if you have any requests.... I'm all ears

Hi,

I just posted a thread a few weeks ago about snmp not functioning correctly here: https://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthread.php?t=46684

hope this will help your problem

Double check filters for discovery - filter vlaue SHOULD have brackets. i.e. if you use internal snmp discovery it should have string

{#SNMPVALUE}

, if you use external script for discover and return json object with

"{#WTFISSNMP}":"YES"

it should contain

{#WTFISSNMP}

.
Debugging lost

{brackets}

cost me full 3 hour with "patch-build-install-inspect logs" cycles.
