SNMP Interface Discovery Not Working

[rrm74001]

I can't seem to get SNMP interface discovery working on a network device (from Template SNMP Interfaces). Error in zabbix_server:

1117:20150820:141053.147 SNMP agent item "ifDescr" on host "host" failed: first network error, wait for 15 seconds
1121:20150820:141108.770 resuming SNMP agent checks on host "host": connection restored

From the same server, I am able to get a response no problem outside of Zabbix, using both snmpwalk and snmpbulkwalk.

[root@host /]# snmpwalk -v 2c -c public 10.10.10.10 IF-MIB::ifDescr
IF-MIB::ifDescr.1 = STRING: mgmt
IF-MIB::ifDescr.2 = STRING: ethernet1/1
IF-MIB::ifDescr.3 = STRING: ethernet1/2
IF-MIB::ifDescr.4 = STRING: ethernet1/3

[root@host /]# snmpbulkwalk -v 2c -c public 10.10.10.10 IF-MIB::ifDescr
IF-MIB::ifDescr.1 = STRING: mgmt
IF-MIB::ifDescr.2 = STRING: ethernet1/1
IF-MIB::ifDescr.3 = STRING: ethernet1/2
IF-MIB::ifDescr.4 = STRING: ethernet1/3

Any ideas?

It's a built-in template. I can't be the only one...

Perhaps somehow in the template or macros you are using a different community string?

You might put on debug=4 (it may be worth disabling a lot of other things to minimize output) and see whether there are other clues in the log.

I think you are getting no answers because generally this works.

did you install them;

sudo apt-get install snmp
sudo apt-get install snmp-mibs-downloader

i did setup zabbix same problem i couldnt get discovery while with green snmp then i found i needed to install those.
