Discovery not working for single host using snmp v2 check

[brdr]

Hi folks,

I'm using Zabbix Server v2.2.3 on Linux. I'm looking to have Zabbix (for testing purposed) discover 1 snmp device, another Linux server.

I can run the snmpwalk command successfully from the actual Zabbix server successfully no problem using 'sysDescr'. The Discovery has 1 simple that (smnp v2 '"sysDescr). Screens shots are too large to attach. I'm happy to forward screen shots some other way.

My Action conditions are pretty straight forward using the actual Rule I've created, followed up by 'Return value like Linux'. The Operations are simple; Add host to Linux server, and use link template 'Linux OS'. I've attached screen shots of the Actions. NOTE: Event Source for my Action is set to 'Discovery'.

I've been trying to get this to find the 1 server and bagging my head :-).

Much appreciate the help.
Thanks,
Don

More info from zabbix server log (at Debug level). Based on the output it appears 'sysDescr' can not be translated by zabbix server. As I mentioned in my first thread I can run snmpwalk from zabbix server and retrieve sysDescr no problem. Can I not use sysDescr in the rule? Do I need to define a macro for sysDescr?

Update: My problem was that I wasn't using the full SNMP OID in the rule. I was using 'sysDescr'. Instead, I should have been using 'SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0' Once I did that everything was fine - i.e. host was discovered and put into proper host group.

Thanks
