SNMP Hex String to IP Address

[zubrag]

Hi All.
I create discovery rule for search cisco ip tunnels.
CISCO-IPSEC-FLOW-MONITOR-MIB::cipSecTunRemoteAddr - it`s ok.
I create Item ptototype with name Tunnel [{#SNMPVALUE}].
But cipSecTunRemoteAddr return Hex-STRING like "0A 0A 0A 0A".
How can I convert hex string to ip address in zabbix?

Solved: SNMP Hex String to IP Address

I had wrote an external python script for discovery and it return some macroses for my needs.

please share the script i would greatly appreciate it as I imagine others. does anyone know how to do this without an external script?

File name is zIpSecDiscovery.py
More than a half size is arguments' parsing.
You need run this script without any arguments for get help message.
For translate from IP address to hostname I wrote all our peers in /etc/hosts file.
I think it will also work with DNS.

If You have any questions I'll be glad answer them.

Hi zubrag,

I know this is an old post, but I have a question about your script. I'm not able to retrieve the {#ZINDEX} value, which I believe would be the equivalent of the {#SNMPINDEX}

For example I retrieve the following values, with the {#ZINDEX} returning a blank value:

{"data": [{"{#ZVALUE}": "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx", "{#ZHOSTNAME}": "xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx.northland.net", "{#ZINDEX}": "", "{#ZOID}": "enterprises.9.9.171.1.3.2.1.5.6120", "{#ZTYPE}": "OCTETSTR"}

Any ideas?

I did actually find a solution yesterday (in PHP) though and while not nearly as elegant (or perhaps proper) as yours I figured I would share it.

I just set it as an external check and fed it the IP address I wanted and it converted it and zabbix stored it as the converted IP. Short but sweet. Maybe others will find it useful.
