How to monitor cisco router with zabbix

[nistpeter2]

Hi all,

Is there any person who can help me to troubleshoot the reason why i can't be able to monitor my all cisco routers using zabbix. I managed to add the hosts but i was blocked where i have chosen snmpv3 agent and in the KEY option i don't know what to write there

Kindly assist me by providing all the requirement configuration needed in order to be able to monitor my routers.

Remember that all the routers are configured with snmp version 3.

Thank you and regards,
Peter

More important question than "how?" in case of monitoring something like Cisco route is "what do you want to monitor?"
Typical router provides sometimes hundreds of thousands metric over SNMP which monitoring always does not make any sense sometimes.
And because bandwidth of the monitored OIDs is usually limited by bugs in SNMP agent and./or using encryption (in case of using SNMPv3) you need carefully choose what do you want to monitor.
