English Applications

Hi, I have installed zabbix in opensuse 15.6 to monitor some servers, everything is working fine, but I want to monitor some cisco switches via snmp traps, but I am stuck in the linux configuration part, I have follow some linux configuration guides not specific to opensuse with no look, have anyone setup opensuse to receive traps?

thanks

snmptrapd is provided by the net-snmp package which should be installed by default, if not - install it and follow the documentation.

Thanks for the help, I didn’t have to install anything, the service was already there, so what I did was.

start the service

systemctl start snmptrapd.service

wget https://git.zabbix.com/projects/ZBX/repos/zabbix/raw/misc/snmptrap/zabbix_trap_receiver.pl -O /usr/bin/zabbix_trap_receiver.pl

chmod +x /usr/bin/zabbix_trap_receiver.pl

and modify the files

nano /etc/snmp/snmptrapd.conf

authCommunity execute c0mun1d4dsnmp
perl do "/usr/bin/zabbix_trap_receiver.pl";

Save the file

edit the file /etc/zabbix_server.conf

nano /etc/zabbix_server.conf

SNMPTrapperFile=/tmp/zabbix_traps.tmp
StartSNMPTrapper=1

save the file

check the following line in the file /usr/bin/zabbix_trap_receiver.pl

$SNMPTrapperFile = '/tmp/zabbix_traps.tmp';

I don’t remember if I had to create the file /tmp/zabbix_traps.tmp manually.

keep this in mind too

I also needed to set the {$SNMP_COMMUNITY} to my setting which was c0mun1d4dsnmp in the Zabbix UI ⇾ Administration ⇾ General ⇾ Macros section.
