Introduction

This Configuration Note describes how to set up Zabbix SNMP for interworking with Telcobridges products.


Prerequisites

Configuration Steps

This will provide you the step-by-step configuration for Telcobridges and Zabbix.

Converting Telcobridges MIBs to Zabbix template

You cannot import any MIB file to Zabbix directly. You need to convert the MIB file to a Zabbix template containing Items, Discovery Rules, and Value Types. Please check the following external link for how to convert the MIB file to Zabbix Template Convert MIB file to Zabbix template.

Configuring Telcobridges product for SNMP

ZABBIX Configuration

Add Telcobridges devices as an host

  • Configuration -> Hosts -> Create Host
  • Enter the information asked by Zabbix

  • Host Name:Enter a unique hostname. Alphanumerics, spaces, dots, dashes, and underscores are allowed. However, leading and trailing spaces are disallowed.
  • Visible Name: If you set this name, it will be the one visible in lists, maps, etc. This attribute has UTF-8 support.
  • Groups: Select host groups the host belongs to. A host must belong to at least one host group. A new group can be created and linked to the host group by adding a non-existing group name.
  • Interfaces: Click to add and select SNMP
    • SNMP: SNMP IP address of the Telcobridges device
    • DNS: DNS name of the Telcobridges Device
    • Port: Destination SNMP Port
    • SNMP version: Used SNMP Version in Telcobridges Device
    • SNMP Community: SNMP Community used in Telcobridges Device

Assign template to new host

  • Hosts -> Select the host
  • Templates
  • Select the template you need to assign

Adding Telcobridges OIDs as an Item

The template you created from the Telcobridges SNMP file will not get all the OIDs. For Telcobridges OIDs monitor for example total calls of a NAP, HA status, and others, you need to add OID as an ITEM.

  • Hosts -> Select the host
  • Items -> Create item

  • Name: Item name
  • Type: Item type. Select SNMP agent.
  • Key: Item key. The key must be unique within a single host. In this example we used SNMP-totalcount
  • Host Interface: Select the host interface. This field is available when editing an item on the host level.
  • SNMP OID: The OID you want to use. In this example used OID is; .1.3.6.1.4.1.21776.1.5.2.1.33 which is the Total (cumulative) count of outgoing calls. .2, in the end, is the NAP number.

Adding a new widget to Zabbix Dashboard

  • Dashboard -> Edit Dashboard -> Add

  • Name: Enter a widget name.
  • Refresh interval: Configure default refresh interval. Default refresh intervals for widgets range from No refresh to 15 minutes depending on the type of widget. For example No refresh for URL widget, 1 minute for action log widget, 15 minutes for the clock widget.
  • Dataset: Select hosts and items to display on the graph. Alternatively, you may enter host and item patterns. Wildcard patterns may be used (for example, * will return results that match zero or more characters). To specify a wildcard pattern, just enter the string manually and press Enter. While you are typing, note how all matching hosts are displayed in the dropdown. Up to 50 items may be displayed in the graph. Host pattern and item pattern fields are mandatory.
