After adding an SNMP item - receive error "get[OID]" contains unsupported parameters

[jburysom]

Hello there,

I’m running zabbix server version 6.4.14.1. I am following the documentation from “2 SNMP Agent” to add an item for SNMP monitoring in zabbix. Below is the URL.

https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...itemtypes/snmp

I created an SNMP item for a Liebert PDU device from information gathered via snmpwalk and snmpget. Below is the output of the the OIDs I want to add from snmpwalk and snmpget.

After adding the OID ".1.3.6.1.4.1.476.1.42.3.8.40.20.1.130.1.1" per the documentation, I receive the following error in the “info” column of the new item for the device.

OID "get[.1.3.6.1.4.1.476.1.42.3.8.40.20.1.130.1.1]" contains unsupported parameters.

Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong or any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

get[] is not available in Zabbix 6.4, it is not mentioned in the 6.4 SNMP page you linked. Instead, it was introduced in 7.0:

https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/7.0/en/manual/introduction/whatsnew700#asynchronous-single-oid-snmp-requests

In 6.4 you need to use the old syntax with just the OID, no other keywords.

Markku,

That did the trick. I've been looking at this for a couple days now - and apparently looking at the incorrect documentation - Ugh... Thanks for your response, much appreciated.
