Auto Registration adds Zabbix agent interface but not SNMP

[TimJohnston170]

I have a somewhat new installation of Zabbix for our company. I am using the "Auto Registration" feature with active agents. The system is working, adding devices to a group and adding an template. The problem I have is we need to also monitor SNMP traffic, which I have created a template for. The "Auto Registration" will not add the Public IP of each of the agents , when the check into the Zabbix server. Is there a way to add the SNMP IP and PORT to the Agent Interfaces, the same as it adds the Zabbix interface? I would really appreciate any advice.

Hello!
I do not use it in my environment, but i think you must use a network discovery for that case. Also configure it to use SNMP checks, that way if they'll be successful zabbix will add SNMP interface too.

Interface creation when adding hosts


When hosts are added as a result of network discovery, they get interfaces created according to these rules:

• the services detected - for example, if an SNMP check succeeded, an SNMP interface will be created
• if a host responded both to Zabbix agent and SNMP requests, both types of interfaces will be created
• if uniqueness criteria are Zabbix agent or SNMP-returned data, the first interface found for a host will be created as the default one. Other IP addresses will be added as additional interfaces.
• if a host responded to agent checks only, it will be created with an agent interface only. If it would start responding to SNMP later, additional SNMP interfaces would be added.
• if 3 separate hosts were initially created, having been discovered by the “IP” uniqueness criteria, and then the discovery rule is modified so that hosts A, B and C have identical uniqueness criteria result, B and C are created as additional interfaces for A, the first host. The individual hosts B and C remain. In Monitoring → Discovery the added interfaces will be displayed in the “Discovered device” column, in black font and indented, but the “Monitored host” column will only display A, the first created host. “Uptime/Downtime” is not measured for IPs that are considered to be additional interfaces.

visiandy ,Thanks for the reply. I was wondering that too, but in my case all of the devices have "Public" IP addresses. This will make it impossible to scan ip ranges, if I'm understanding it correctly.
