SNMP Builder for Zabbix

[dougbee]

Hi all,

i tried the snmp builder on zabbix 1.8.8 on debian 6

i applied all the patches described in wiki
at the first time, it was possible to read out something from the device, but i wasn't able to add it as a item.

i added some new mibs, like snmpv2 and tried it again, but now there is no result and the window with oid/name remains empty

i also waited for about 5 minutes, but there is still nothing to see.

does anybody have an idea?

greets

oliver

Can you look at the page source, to see if the text is actually present but not getting rendered? I ran into this yesterday, it was because I had a typo (missing comma separator) in the jsLoader.php file..

Zabbix 2.0 and its 1.9 pre-releases differ quite a lot from 1.8, thus snmp_builder.php will not work on 1.9 and newer versions without changing its code. However this is a solvable task.

A SNMP Builder update

Hi all,

I have slightly updated SNMP Builder code.

New features:

• Zabbix 1.8.x internationalization support;
• Changed some interface labels;
• OID tree and Information screen elements are a bit wider now;
• Changed OID selection color to something blueish;
• "Clear" button clears OID selections;
• Selectable SNMP version: 1 or 2c;
• SNMP host port can be specified in host address field as 192.168.1.1:8161;
• SNMP host's port is saved in items being created;
• Support of new SNMP data types: INTEGER32, Unsigned32, Counter64;
• Automatic selection of units and delta mode for if(In|Out)Octets and if(HCIn|HCOut)Octets OIDs;
• Polling interval, keep history and keep trends item parameters can be specified by user;
• Create graphs for numeric OIDs.

Installation Instructions

1. You need a clean Zabbix installation with no previous versions of SNMP Builder installed. Otherwise you should either uninstall old SNMP Builder or change my patch file.
2. Change directory to your web root or where your Zabbix frontend files leave. For me it is /usr/share/zabbix.
3. Apply patch by issuing command zcat snmpbuilder.diff.gz |patch -p1
4. Untar SNMP Builder image files from snmpbuilder_imgs.tar.gz to /usr/share/zabbix/snmp_builder/imgs or where your Zabbix frontend leaves.

Thanks go to:

• GiapNguyen for SNMP Builder
• Alixen, jhgrc and others for their patches

This patch is created for Zabbix 1.8.12rc1, but should probably work with Zabbix 1.8.11 and even 1.8.10.
Bug reports and suggestions are welcome.

SNMP Builder For Zabbix 2.0

SNMP Builder For Zabbix 2.0

Put images to /usr/share/zabbix/js/jquery/themes/mib/

SNMP Builder updated

Updated versions of my patches.

Added MIB file upload. In order to make it work, chown /usr/share/snmp/mibs (or wherever your MIBs are located) to the user id of your web server (usually it is apache, httpd, www-data). Also correct $mibs_dir in snmp_builder.php if needed.
If uploads fail, set upload_tmp_dir = /tmp variable in php.ini.

P.S. Do my patches work for you, are there any bugs/suggestions? I need your feedback.

Help guys

Hello community


I have a recently created Zabbix installation, 1.8.11, I want to know if is possible to run Snmp-Builder with these version. Actually ,I'am a little bit confused, I'm trying to install Snmp-Builder, downloading the code from

https://github.com/giapnguyen/snmpbuilder

But then there is the explanations of the wiki here

http://www.zabbix.com/wiki/howto/mon...p/snmp_builder

So I really don't know what to do, Also I read comments in these post of people (amazing) who develop its own patches and there is more than one Oo

Can somebody give some guide about what to do exactly? I start from new Zabbix 1.8.11

Any help will be awesome!

Thanks

[sire]

rubendob,

The version on github is outdated, it was modified 2 years ago. And it will not work on Zabbix 1.8.11 without modifications.

what modifications I have to do or what hacks/patches I have to install in order to run withou issues snmp-builder?

Thanks!

PS:excuse me guys but it is my first approachs to snmp-builder :/

I have read some pages of thread and I have found you have version of snmp-builder compatible with 1.8.11, however,

- Does I have to download original snmp-builder code from the autor?
- And then patch it with your code?

Sorry for lot of questions.

thanks

No need to to download original code. You need just clean Zabbix install to apply my patches.

Hi Sire

this is what is happening when I follow the steps

# zcat snmpbuilder.diff.gz |patch -p1

EDIT: just to comment, version of Zabbix is latest stable, 1.8.11. If now I click on Administration>Snmp Builder this is what can i see of the bottom of the page

You have to manually apply a piece of patch concerning include/locales/en_gb.inc.php file. Open this file in a text editor, scroll to the bottom of the file. Put the translation strings before the line with a closing bracket and a semicolon ");". Translation strings are at the beginning of my patch and look like

'S_SNMP_BUILDER' => 'SNMP Builder', 

Remove plus "+" signs at the beginning of each line.

You may possibly need to ungzip my patch before you open it in an editor. Use gzip -d snmpbuilder.diff.gz command to do this.

Still in the fight

Hi Sire and other people

this is the bottom of the include/locales/en_gb.inc.php after make the changes you suggested

// class.citemkey.php
        'S_KEY_CANNOT_BE_EMPTY' => 'Key cannot be empty.',
        'S_NO_KEY_ID_PROVIDED' => 'No key id provided.',
        'S_NO_ITEM_KEY_PROVIDED' => 'Invalid item key format.',
        'S_INCORRECT_SIMPLE_CHECK_PARAMETER' => 'Incorrect simple check parameter.',
        'S_INCORRECT_SYNTAX_NEAR' => 'Incorrect syntax near \'%1$s\'',
        'S_INCORRECT_USAGE_OF_BRACKET_SYMBOLS' => 'Incorrect usage of bracket symbols. \'%s\' found after final bracket.',
        'S_INVALID_KEY_FORMAT' => 'Invalid item key format.',
        'S_SNMP_BUILDER' => 'SNMP Builder',
        'S_NO_HOST_ADDR' => 'No host address provided',
        'S_INVALID_HOST_ADDR' => 'Invalid host address',
        'S_OID_LIST_IS_NULL' => 'OID list is null',
        'S_OID_IS_NULL' => 'OID is null',
        'S_INVALID_TYPE' => 'Invalid type',
        'S_OID_TREE' => 'OID Tree',
        'S_OID_DATA' => 'OID Data',
        'S_CLICK_TO_FORCE_VIEW_AS_TABLE' => 'Force view as table',
        'S_OID_NAME' => 'OID/Name',
        'S_DELTA' => 'Delta',
        'S_MIB' => 'MIB',
        'S_OID' => 'OID',
        'S_SNMP_VERSION' => 'SNMP Version',
        'S_COMMUNITY' => 'Community',
        'S_GRAPH_PARAMETERS' => 'Graph Parameters',
        'S_CANNOT_CREATE_GRAPH_FOR_NON_NUMERIC_ITEM' => 'Cannot create graph for non-numeric item',
);
?>

then I run

# zcat snmpbuilder.diff.gz |patch -p1

patching file include/locales/en_gb.inc.php
Hunk #1 FAILED at 2499.
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file include/locales/en_gb.inc.php.rej

patching file jsLoader.php
patching file snmp_builder/DynTable.js

patching file snmp_builder.php

These are the files inside snmp_builder:

# ls -ls snmp_builder
total 188
  8 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root   4497 Apr 23 10:27 DynTable.js
 12 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root  10188 Apr 23 10:27 snmp_builder.js
168 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 171825 Apr 23 10:27 Tree.js

Then, there is also another file of your installation

Untar SNMP Builder image files from snmpbuilder_imgs.tar.gz to /usr/share/zabbix/snmp_builder/imgs or where your Zabbix frontend leaves

so I have downloaded and uncompress .tar.gz inside snmp_builder folder

# ls -ls  snmp_builder
total 192
  8 -rw-r--r-- 1 zabbix zabbix   4497 Apr 23 10:27 DynTable.js
  4 drwxr-xr-x 3 zabbix zabbix   4096 Apr 23 10:41 imgs
 12 -rw-r--r-- 1 zabbix zabbix  10188 Apr 23 10:27 snmp_builder.js
168 -rw-r--r-- 1 zabbix zabbix 171825 Apr 23 10:27 Tree.js

Now I dont' see any errors on snmp-builder page inside Zabbix Administration but... OID tree is completely blank.

How can I check now? I have some ip of snmp device to check.

Thanks

[sire]

rubendob,

Choose a MIB first, for example, IF-MIB, then enter the IP address and Community string of your SNMP device. That should be enough for the start.
