Zabbix Issue

[ITGURU]

Just wondering if there's any Zabbix experts out there that can help?

I've got a VM setup and installed with zabbix, can access the web UI etc without issue and it seems to be producing data for the zabbix server.

I added several network devices yesterday with SNMP and none are yet collecting data.

Is anyone able to help?

I've got the same install setup as home and that works with the switches, but for some reason when adding them to my work install, it's not collecting any data although showing snmp as green

thanks

Not sure if this is still an issue for you but you need to enable the snmp service on targets you want to collect data from. You can test that the port is open and the service is running on the target with a nmap UDP scan of the target on port 161, the scan command would be this but with the IP address of the taget server

 

"nmap -sS -sU -T4 -A -v -p 161 192.168.1.1"

 

You will also need to allow the SNMP service to be queried by the Zabbix host too. You need to do this on the Target server, in Windows this is done by opening services and then right clicking on SNMP and the options to the allowed IP as well as the public/private settings are there, (from memory)

 

Lastly you could use the zabbix agent on the servers that you want to gather data from, its works pretty well and the config is via a text file.
