Trigger for snmptrap

[Bigfoot_2k]

Hi!

We receive snmp-traps from a telephony system on a zabbix server 2.2.2.
The traps are shown in the "Latest Data" tab, translated by snmptt.

So far I created a trigger that puts a warning to the dashboard if any trap was discovered (so far it works!):

{<HOST>:snmptrap.fallback.strlen()}>1

The trap contains of (ip address blanked out...):

14:16:33 2015/11/20 MX-ONE-TS-ALARM-MIB::mxAlarmWarning Normal "Status Events" x.x.x.x - 21377 Lim 1, Unit SBYALR 3:2 warning Standby server is out of order, Cluster: svmxts06 Standby: svmxts06 no

My goal is to create a trigger that brings the info from the sent trap to the dashboard, filtered as "Standby server out of order", not as a general "I found a snmptrap"-Info.

How can I build a trigger for this purpose?

I already tried something like:

{<HOST>:snmptrap.fallback.str(order)}=1
{<HOST>:snmptrap.fallback.regex(/order/)}#0
{<HOST>:snmptrap.fallback.regex(^order$)}#0

Has anyone a little input on this topic?

Thanks in advance,
Klaus

I will give you a snippet from one of my SNMP Trap items/triggers.

This is for monitoring RX levels on fiber....

I created an item called "High power threshold" and used the following on my JDSU WaveReady Template:

Type = snmptrap
Key = ["RX power above high power threshold"]
Type of information = Log

Then, I created a trigger called "Client RX power above high power threshold - 1-1-1-C" and used the following expression:

{JDSU WaveReady:snmptrap["RX power above high power threshold"].str("bjRaiseMinorAlarmNotification")}=1 & {JDSU WaveReady:snmptrap["RX power above high power threshold"].str("bjClearAlarmNotification")}=0 & {JDSU WaveReady:snmptrap["RX power above high power threshold"].str("1-1-1-C")}

This alarms when a trap is received for "RX power above high power threshold" and it includes bjRaiseMinorAlarmNotification". The alarms clears when a trap is received for "RX power above high power threshold" and inlcudes "bjClearAlarmNotification" and "1-1-1-C", which is the port being monitored.

I hope this helps!

Hi Steveo!

Thank you for your reply, I think this did the trick:

{Template XXXX:snmptrap["This is my trap"].strlen()}>1

I was thinking in a too complex way in constructing the regex for the snmptrap["regex"]-Parameter as I tried to construct a cyptic expression.

Putting the "trap name" into the brackets helped, the triggers are working perfect!

Bye,
