Coming from Solarwinds, how Zabbix handles OIDs is different and there were no Keys to work with in SW. I've read the manual and watched videos, but it appears these topics aren't covered in the detail I need.
OIDs. Technically, the OID is just the numerical listing of a given OID, but Zabbix allows action terms like walk or get and puts the OID in brackets. It looks like you can also have a list of OIDs. I think I saw one example with macros. Perhaps that was in the Key field.
Keys. It appears there are predefined keys that have names with periods separating the portions of the name but there are some that do not. Can you create your own key using either syntax? Do the keys need to match the descriptions of the OIDs?
If there is a video that goes into the basics of OIDs and Keys that goes into the real basics of these two topics, I would really like to get a link.
