6.4.0, template import failed, Invalid parameter "/2/trends"

[Bega]

Hi can someone help with template import. Zabbix 6.4.0. I have created template from .mib with mib2zabbix. Exported to .xml. When importing template i have error:

• Invalid parameter "/2/trends": value must be 0.

Temperature-sensor-Comet-T0510.xml

Thanks!

Don't use mib2zabbix. It generates templates in 3.0 format and sets trends field incorrectly. 3.0 was more forgiving and ignored trends set for non-numeric types whereas modern Zabbix versions are more strict about this.

Very good observation..
So, if you really want to use that mib2zabbix, then go over the result and where ever you find "<value_type>4</value_type>", look couple of lines above it and change "<trends>365</trends>" to "<trends>0</trends>", I guess you need to do it for any "value type" that is not 0 (float) or 3 (integer).
It may be easier to change it globally in file and IF you get it imported, then do mass update on float and integer items and set it back to some reasonable number.

Next thing, what you maybe stumble on, is the "<type>4</type>" which in v3 format means "SNMPv2 agent", but that value 4 is not present in v6+ any more... It may overcome this somehow, but you may need to change it to "<type>20</type>", which is just "SNMP agent"...

Thanks for answers i will check. Zabbix 6.4.0 on Ubuntu, so what is the best way to convert .mib to .xml or yaml ?

I have the same issue when I tried to use mib2zabbix, and even when I replaced all trends of type 4 into 0, I was hit by another issue,

Invalid parameter "/101/valuemapid": value must be 0.

What my options to create a template from MIB if the script above is not maintained anymore?

The same thing happens to me, were you able to solve it? Thanks in advance

I have the same situation. Did you manage to find a solution ?

I've been using mib2zabbix with 6.0.19 without any problems, I noticed that there was notification message "Smartmatch is experimental..." at Bega screenshot , I can't find such string from version I'm using. Perhaps version used is somehow broken one? Here's version I'm using: mib2zabbix.zip

Thx markosa, but I have the same file, And I try to create a template to monitor a Lenovo XClarity Controller, from the files Lenovo XClarity Controller.zip and i'm unable to produce a working template.

rabin using MIB's you provided I was able to create template for lenovo (mib2zabbix.pl -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.19046 -f ./lenovo.xml ). I tried to attach those, one created with mib2zabbix and one exported from zabbix 6.0.19, but this complains about size, eventhoug those are small files.

Server Lenovo XCC.zip Try this. I'm using it in v6.4.4 and working fine.

But did you able to import the file?

rabin as I said "one created with mib2zabbix and one exported from zabbix 6.0.19", so yes, I was able to import that file.
