Hello,

I am monitoring several parameters via Zabbix and would like to do the following:

- Access the Zabbix item from another server via SNMP.

How can I do this?

Thanks

Hello, villyaraujo

To access a Zabbix item from another server via SNMP, you can follow these steps:

Ensure SNMP is Enabled: Make sure SNMP is enabled on the Zabbix server. You can do this by configuring the Zabbix server with SNMP support using the --with-net-snmp flag during installation see here: https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...itemtypes/snmp.
Identify the SNMP OID: Find the SNMP Object Identifier (OID) for the item you want to monitor. You can use the snmpwalk command to list all available OIDs on the Zabbix server:
snmpwalk -v 2c -c public <Zabbix_server_IP>
Replace <Zabbix_server_IP> with the IP address of your Zabbix server. This command will list all SNMP OIDs and their current values.
Configure SNMP on the Monitoring Server: On the server from which you want to access the Zabbix item, configure SNMP to query the Zabbix server. You can use the snmpget command to retrieve specific OIDs:
snmpget -v 2c -c public <Zabbix_server_IP> <OID>
Replace <OID> with the specific OID you want to monitor see above link.
Add SNMP Item in Zabbix: In the Zabbix frontend, add a new SNMP item to the host configuration. Specify the OID and other necessary parameters like SNMP version, community string, etc.
Test the Configuration: Ensure that the SNMP queries are working correctly by testing the configuration. You should see the monitored values being updated in the Zabbix frontend.

If you encounter any issues, make sure the SNMP service is running on both servers and that there are no firewall rules blocking SNMP traffic.

What a load on BS... Did you even read the question?

But all that aside.. Zabbxi does not expose items/values over snmp... Theoretically you could build something for snmp server, that obtains a value and shows it out over SNMP.... BUt I guess it is too much work for one item..:P
