    How to create Items for monitoring Traps on D-Link DGS-1100-08 swicth?

    Hi there.

    I'm running Zabbix appliance 4.2.3 on VM to monitor some equipment in my home network.
    PCs, laptops and phones using zabbix agent, and network equipment using their snmp features.
    I enabled every single DGS-1100-08 snmp feature, and downloaded and imported the Official template for D-Link DES/DGS devices because D-Link DGS-1100-08 switch does not have a template of its own.
    The switch was succeully recongnized by Zabbix server as a Host, but the Host does not show any Item related to the Traps enabled on its snmp switch config.
    So I'd like to know how to create some Items to monitor the Traps enabled on the switch?

    I'm a Telecom engineer who likes computers and networking, not a computer expert nor experienced network admin, but I consider myself as self-taught, even more for things I really enjoy like this.
    I downloaded and watched these Zabbix tutorials from youtube: Zabbix Network Monitoring Essentials (PacktPub.com), Zabbix for Begginers (CBT4all.com)
    Also downloaded and watched some SNMP tutorials (Introduction to SNMP, SNMP: concetps and principles) which explain a lot about smnp and traps.
    Those 40 videos took me many hours to understand how Zabbix/snmp works.
    But I do not really know to apply all that to get what I'm looking for.
    What must I do to get there?
    Is there something I'm missing, forgetting or just ignoring?

    I added some screenshots of what I have at the moment
    Any idea, suggestion or comment is always welcome.
    Thanks a lot for your time.-

    Your host has only one data item of type Snmptrap which will accept all traps. "If the trap was not set as the value of any item, Zabbix by default logs the unmatched trap. (This is configured by “Log unmatched SNMP traps” in Administration → General → Other.)" https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...types/snmptrap
    Debag situations should be carried out sequentially, following the steps of processing the trap (see the documentation "The workflow of receiving a trap" )
    PS (Instead of watching a bunch of videos, it's better to read and understand the documentation once....)
