Generic by SNMP

Macros used

Name Description Default
{$SNMP.TIMEOUT}

Time interval for the SNMP availability trigger.

5m
{$ICMP_LOSS_WARN}

Warning threshold of ICMP packet loss in %.

20
{$ICMP_RESPONSE_TIME_WARN}

Warning threshold of the average ICMP response time in seconds.

0.15

Items

Name Description Type Key and additional info
Uptime (network)

MIB: SNMPv2-MIB

Time (in hundredths of a second) since the network management portion of the system was last re-initialized.

SNMP agent system.net.uptime[sysUpTime.0]

Preprocessing

  • Custom multiplier: 0.01

Uptime (hardware)

MIB: HOST-RESOURCES-MIB

The amount of time since this host was last initialized. Note that this is different from sysUpTime in the SNMPv2-MIB [RFC1907] because sysUpTime is the uptime of the network management portion of the system.

SNMP agent system.hw.uptime[hrSystemUptime.0]

Preprocessing

  • Check for not supported value: any error

    ⛔️Custom on fail: Set value to: 0

  • Custom multiplier: 0.01

SNMP traps (fallback)

The item is used to collect all SNMP traps unmatched by other snmptrap items

SNMP trap snmptrap.fallback
System location

MIB: SNMPv2-MIB

Physical location of the node (e.g., equipment room, 3rd floor). If not provided, the value is a zero-length string.

SNMP agent system.location[sysLocation.0]

Preprocessing

  • Discard unchanged with heartbeat: 12h

System contact details

MIB: SNMPv2-MIB

The textual identification of the contact person for this managed node, together with information on how to contact this person. If no contact information is known, the value is the zero-length string.

SNMP agent system.contact[sysContact.0]

Preprocessing

  • Discard unchanged with heartbeat: 12h

System object ID

MIB: SNMPv2-MIB

The vendor's authoritative identification of the network management subsystem contained in the entity. This value is allocated within the SMI enterprises subtree (1.3.6.1.4.1) and provides an easy and unambiguous means for determiningwhat kind of box' is being managed. For example, if vendorFlintstones, Inc.' was assigned the subtree1.3.6.1.4.1.4242, it could assign the identifier 1.3.6.1.4.1.4242.1.1 to its `Fred Router'.

SNMP agent system.objectid[sysObjectID.0]

Preprocessing

  • Discard unchanged with heartbeat: 12h

System name

MIB: SNMPv2-MIB

An administratively-assigned name for this managed node.By convention, this is the node's fully-qualified domain name. If the name is unknown, the value is the zero-length string.

SNMP agent system.name

Preprocessing

  • Discard unchanged with heartbeat: 12h

System description

MIB: SNMPv2-MIB

A textual description of the entity. This value should

include the full name and version identification of the system's hardware type, software operating-system, and

networking software.

SNMP agent system.descr[sysDescr.0]

Preprocessing

  • Discard unchanged with heartbeat: 12h

SNMP agent availability

Availability of SNMP checks on the host. The value of this item corresponds to availability icons in the host list.

Possible values:

0 - not available

1 - available

2 - unknown

Zabbix internal zabbix[host,snmp,available]
ICMP ping

The host accessibility by ICMP ping.

0 - ICMP ping fails;

1 - ICMP ping successful.

Simple check icmpping
ICMP loss

The percentage of lost packets.

Simple check icmppingloss
ICMP response time

The ICMP ping response time (in seconds).

Simple check icmppingsec

Triggers

Name Description Expression Severity Dependencies and additional info
Generic by SNMP: Host has been restarted

Uptime is less than 10 minutes.

(last(/Generic by SNMP/system.hw.uptime[hrSystemUptime.0])>0 and last(/Generic by SNMP/system.hw.uptime[hrSystemUptime.0])<10m) or (last(/Generic by SNMP/system.hw.uptime[hrSystemUptime.0])=0 and last(/Generic by SNMP/system.net.uptime[sysUpTime.0])<10m) Warning Manual close: Yes
Depends on:
  • Generic by SNMP: No SNMP data collection
Generic by SNMP: System name has changed

The name of the system has changed. Acknowledge to close the problem manually.

last(/Generic by SNMP/system.name,#1)<>last(/Generic by SNMP/system.name,#2) and length(last(/Generic by SNMP/system.name))>0 Info Manual close: Yes
Generic by SNMP: No SNMP data collection

SNMP is not available for polling. Please check device connectivity and SNMP settings.

max(/Generic by SNMP/zabbix[host,snmp,available],{$SNMP.TIMEOUT})=0 Warning Depends on:
  • Generic by SNMP: Unavailable by ICMP ping
Generic by SNMP: Unavailable by ICMP ping

Last three attempts returned timeout. Please check device connectivity.

max(/Generic by SNMP/icmpping,#3)=0 High
Generic by SNMP: High ICMP ping loss

ICMP packets loss detected.

min(/Generic by SNMP/icmppingloss,5m)>{$ICMP_LOSS_WARN} and min(/Generic by SNMP/icmppingloss,5m)<100 Warning Depends on:
  • Generic by SNMP: Unavailable by ICMP ping
Generic by SNMP: High ICMP ping response time

Average ICMP response time is too high.
