ZABBIX refuseS to get TEMP VALUE FROM HP PROCURVE SWITCH

[TASSA]

Hello guys im tryng to get temrurture output from my HP PROCURVE 5400 SWITCH
but i get ithis

" Received value [26C] is not suitable for value type [Numeric (unsigned)] and data type [Decimal]"

i have tried all type of information but no sucess !

FYI
snmpwlk works fine
snmpwalk -On -v 2c -c hhhhhhhh x.x.x.x .1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.1.2.8.1.1.3.0
.1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.1.2.8.1.1.3.0 = STRING: "26C"

ANY HELP WILL BE APPRICIATE

Yes, snmpwalk shows you that you are getting a String "26C", not a number "26"

Try to use "Text" for Type of information.
But you will lose the possibility to compare temperature with any limits.

To get a number from string you have to write your own external script, which will collect SNMP information, strip letter "C" from the end of string and return only number to Zabbix.

Say Thank you to HP!

ZABBIX refuseS to get TEMP VALUE FROM HP PROCURVE SWITCH'

Hi Aib 10x for your prompt response
I have just came out with a small bash script which work fine for me from the shell
But not working on the gui
Im using the external check
But I still get the error
"Received value [26C] is not suitable for value type [Numeric (unsigned)] and data type [Decimal]"

That the script from the shell situated at /etc/zabbix/externalscripts
Im running the script
> ./temcheck x.x.x.x
>28
That’s the script
< cat tempcheck.sh
#!
/bin/bash
snmpwalk -On -v 2c -c x.x.x.x $1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.1.2.8.1.1.3.0 | awk '{gsub("\"","",$4);gsub("C","",$4);print $4

NOW I HAVE THIS ERROR

step by step.
1) script has to be in the directory, described in zabbix_server.conf

># grep -i external /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf
#       Specifies how long we wait for agent, SNMP device or external check (in seconds).
### Option: ExternalScripts
#       Full path to location of external scripts.
# ExternalScripts=${datadir}/zabbix/externalscripts
ExternalScripts=/usr/lib/zabbix/externalscripts

2) I changed a little bit your script

# cat tempcheck.sh
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/snmpwalk -On -v 2c -c public $1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.1.2.8.1.1.3.0 | awk -F'"' '{print $2}' | sed 's/C//g'

3) Then I tested it with my switch:

# ./tempcheck.sh 1x.1x.1x.1x
26

4) Then I created Item,as it was described in https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...types/external

Name: Device Temperature
Type: External check
Key: tempcheck.sh[{HOST.CONN}]
Type of information: Numeric(float)
Units: °C

5) Then I got data from device:

Hi aib I followed you instruction and it looks okay but zabbix complaining "Timeout while executing a shell script"
I guess I need to increase time out
What do need to change
10x

" zabbix.conf"

### Option: Timeout
# Specifies how long we wait for agent, SNMP device or external check (in seconds).
#
# Mandatory: no
# Range: 1-30
# Default:
# Timeout=3
