    Can't get visible name in Discovery Template

    I am new to Zabbix and working with discovering devices and trying to automatically change the visible name of each device either on discovery or automatically after. In my "Discovery Rules" under "Checks" I have added and SNMPV2 agent check for OID "1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5" and I have that selected under "Visible Name"

    It's still using the IP address at the "Host name" like I have selected in the discovery rule but it is not updating the "Visible name" --that is left blank. If I do an snmpwalk for the OID "1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5" I receive the expected hostname value.

    if you "walk", then what OID do you see... is it EXACTLY 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5 or is there also .0 or .1 or something in the end...? Zabbix is not walking that OID, it does a get and if it is not full OID, then you don't get answer...

        You are a genius. It was "1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5.0" (With the ".0") and adding that in got it working for me.

        Thanks!​
