Hi,
I am trying to come up with a solution for monitoring 2000 + Aruba Wireless Access Points using SNMP traps originating from an Aruba Airwave appliance.
1) SNMP trap is issued from the Aruba Airwave appliance if a wireless access point goes down
2) All traps have the same source IP, the appliance, not the IP of the wireless access point.
3) The appliance is set up as a host in Zabbix with the IP address of the appliance set in the SNMP interface field.
4) snmptrap[regex] item is set up like snmptrap["downAP"] with trigger {Template Aruba Airwave SNMP Traps:snmptrap["downAP"].str()}>0
The problem/question:
If a trap for access point abc123 is received, the trigger creates a problem event, but that stays in "PROBLEM" state forever. So if a second access point goes down (eg abc456) a trap is sent, but if i understand correctly, there will be no problem event because the original access point trigger event is still in problem. I am not sure how to move forward as I need an event for each access point that is detected as down. I am not familiar wit tags but wonder if tags could help here?
Example SNMP trap:
20210710.102033 DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = 10 SNMPv2-MIB::snmpTrapOID.0 = AWAMP-MIB::downAP AWAMP-MIB::awampEventID = 2 AWAMP-MIB::awampEventSeverityCode = 1 AWAMP-MIB::awampEventDescription = Device: abc123 - https://my_appliance: Device Down Device Type is Access Point and Minutes Down Threshold >= 5 minutes. Notes: AP down, test zabbix AWAMP-MIB::awampAPIP = 142.x.x.x AWAMP-MIB::awampAPEthMAC = xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx AWAMP-MIB::awampApName = abc123 AWAMP-MIB:
