    Full Zabbix experience with SNMP?

    I'm sorry - I really, really am - if this is a repeatedly asked query.

    Basically, our infrastructure all runs with SNMP. From servers to switches. Don't ask.

    Basically, after playing around with Zabbix for a few weeks, I've decided to try get monitoring in a similar manner that Nagios is doing it. I have a few servers, have tried applying templates and the most I have is uptime which is quite broing to graph.

    I have Googled far and wide, have got a lot of information, and I'm still struggling to break ground breaking progress. I understand that I must configure SNMP stuff, and an SNMP trap, but I can't find a tutorial dedicated to explaining all of this to me and the documentation isn't spectacularly helpful for this particular instance.

    My big question - my elaborate, brain tingling inquiry; what is the best method of monitoring a server - using SNMP - and having all the graphs available just like if it were being monitored by the zabbix agent?

      Thanks for the snappy reply

      I'm having an issue monitoring Windows servers with SNMP. I can get uptime and (I think) CPU, but I'm having issues with other factors.

      There's also no graphs - which I'm sure wouldn't be too hard once configured - but as long as I can get metrics measured I'm happy

        hmm did you get any errors?

        What issues do you have?
        A good start to debug this is to install snmp on you zabbix-server and try something like
        Code:
        snmpget -v<VERSION> -c <COMMUNITYSTRING> <IP> <OID>
        snmpget -v2c -c public 10.20.30.40 vm.memory.size[free]
        does it work? if not please run and install
        Code:
        apt-get install snmp-mibs-downloader
        download-mibs
        take also a look at https://wiki.debian.org/SNMP, if something dont work please post the errormessage!
