Hi. I'm completely new to the network monitoring world and Zabbix. I'm liking it very much so far but I would like help on how to do what I'm thinking.
I would like to see what kind of devices are on my network, such as iPhones, cameras, etc. Previously I would use an iPhone app called Fing which returned the DNS name, the ip, and the manufacturer. Is there a similar system I can set up in Zabbix?
I know very little about SNMP and OIDs so I need a lot of explanation. I think what I have to do is get discovery to find the devices via SNMP and then set an action that checks to see what kind of device it is, then adds it as a host with a generic template telling me what it is, and then set another action that removes the host when it goes down.
the problem is that I don't know if discovery is actually doing that. Plus I know very little about SNMP so I don't even know what version I should be using, what group I should be in, etc.
Plus, I'm using Zabbix 1.8 (I'll be using 2.2 eventually) so I don't know if what I am trying to do has to do with low level discovery, which seems to only be in 2.*
Would someone please show me how to set this up? Or show me a better way to do this?
Your help is appreciated. I really like zabbix and am enjoying it immensely
