    Zabbix xml template import for snmp - debugging

    Hello,
    I have created an xml template from a custom snmp mib using snmp2zabbix.py -This seems to work and pulls all the OIDs I am interested into xml template, but when I try to import template am getting error:
    Invalid parameter "/1/mappings/7": valuse (value) = (0) already exists
    I've been searching for how I can get a verbose debug to see where in template this is failing during import so I can fix. There may be 52 duplicate value mappings I can see 52 of <value>0</value> in xml template that I generated.
    Any thoughts on how to approach debugging this and maybe getting detailed doc on template authoring in debugging template xml?

    I attempted to attach xml and mib files to this post but seem to be unable to attach .txt files and have jpg only image limit of 56k​

    Hello,
    To debug issues with importing an XML template for SNMP in Zabbix, you can try the following steps:
    1. Verify the XML template syntax: Ensure that the XML file is well-formed and free of errors. You can use an XML validator to check the syntax.
    2. Check the Zabbix log files: The Zabbix server and proxy log files may contain useful information about the issue. The log files are usually located in the /var/log/zabbix directory.
    3. Enable Debug mode: You can enable Debug mode in Zabbix to get more detailed information about the template import process. To do this, you need to set the DebugLevel value in the Zabbix server configuration file (zabbix_server.conf) to 4.
    4. Verify the SNMP settings: Ensure that the SNMP settings on the target host are configured correctly and are accessible from the Zabbix server or proxy.
    5. Test the template items: After importing the XML template, test the individual items to ensure that they are returning the expected values. You can use the Zabbix frontend or the Zabbix API to test the items.

    By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve any issues with importing an XML template for SNMP in Zabbix.

    Thanks,
