    Version of Powernet_MIB in zabbix 7.2 and errors with discovered OID

    Hi team,

    is it possible to find out the version of Powernet_MIB taht zabbix 7.2 is using?
    and if I have a newer version, how would I get zabbix to use that one instead?

    My situation: I have two UPS's:
    • Schneider Electric Easy UPS 3-Phase
    • Easy 3S 3-phase UPS

    When applying the Zabbix 7.2 template APC UPS by SNMP from the zabbix official repository several items are discovered and populated with data for the Easy UPS 3-Phase but not the Easy 3S

    As an example, the Input Phases are discovered for both but for the Easy 3S the input phases generate an error "No Such Instance currently exists at this OID" which relate to "phase.input.voltage[upsPhaseInputVoltage.1.1.12]"

    oddly, the discovered Input phase 1 OID seems strange for the Esy 3S
    Easy UPS (working) = 1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.9.2.3.1.3.1.1.1

    Easy 3S (not working) = 1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.9.2.3.1.3.1.1.12

    I am at a bit of a loss as to where to go from here.

    any assistance is welcome.


    Further to the above:

    I have some *-MIB.txt files on my server are located at: /usr/share/snmp/mibs, rather than .MIB files. none of those match the below mibs. i cannot see any MIB files on the server

    In the description of the APC UPS template is says it uses the following

    MIBs used:

    HOST-RESOURCES-MIB

    PowerNet-MIB

    SNMPv2-MIB



    these seem to be supplied with Zabbix.

    I cannot find these at all.

    therefore, i cannot seem to work out why one APC UPS is working and one isn't, even though I believe the models and OID are catered for within the PowerNet-MIB, although perhaps one isn't.

    using a MIB Browser, it seems that the discovery rules match the OIDs in the MIB I downloaded, so likely in the MIB supplied.


    or am i totally on the wrong track.

    Zabbix does not use those (or any) mibs directly. These are only used to create those tempaltes, ie OID-s looked up from MIB and items created based on those.
    I am not familiar with particular templates, but maybe you can just update particular item (or discovery) to point to correct OID and your problem might be solved. Most probably you should clone the original and make changes to new one and later use whichever template suits particular device...

      Thanks, cyber.
      I did not realise that.
      I will add the MIBs and go through the process. it is odd because it *looks* like it should all work but let's see what happens.

        Solved, sort of.
        the zabbbix discovery found od OIDs so I cloned and edited teh values after using snmpwalk to confirm. also updated triggers.
