I am also seeing similar errors on a zabbix proxy.

SNMP works fine when the host is not monitored via the proxy. When the host is monitored via proxy we see the following:

We have a trigger condition setup like this:

Name: {HOSTNAME} SNMP Failed

Expression: {SD2:cpu.nodata(14400)}=1

Description: {HOSTNAME} SNMP Failed. Check configuration, ACL.


Please advise why the trigger condition is met when the host is monitored via proxy but not triggered when monitored from the main zabbix server.

Solved for me,

The problem was the local-engine-id number it was the same in all my devices. So maybe you can check if you don't have the same problem.
