Netconf Integration/Plugin to another System

[makemeasandwich]

Hello,

I was wondering if zabbix has a plugin to Netconf? Or maybe something else implemented, so that I could monitor devices, systems over Netconf instead of SNMP if they have a supported/implemented Netconf interface.

Thanks very much for help.

Kind Regards

If you can install NETCONF (requester? / agent?) on zabbix server and if you can use it from command line = then, you can create UserParameter= for zabbix_agent and then use it to collect information.

The chain will be like:
Zabbix server -> (request to Zagent) -> Zabbix agent -> (Using UserParameter= line to request to NETCONF) -> NETCONF cli utility -> (request to device) -> Device

Hello,

thanks for the fast repply!

How can I install NETCONF on the zabbix server?

Correct me if I'm wrong. Do you mean I need like a tool which I can use to like install NETCONF on a zabbix server ( maybe Netopeer? ) and then create the UserParameters for the zabbix_agent to collect the information?

That would only work on a zabbix server not on a zabbix proxy right? As you cannot use UserParameters on a proxy.

Thanks very much for the help

Yes, you are right.
Zabbix Server will ask Zabbix Agent (wherever it installed) about UserParameter value.
So, you can install Netopeer on you local PC, and use it through Zabbix Agent interface.
