Zabbix SNMPv2 AVT AE1 DABPlus Go monitoring

Monitoring of AVT MAGIC AE1 DAB+ Go devices.

There are low-level discovery rules for detecting and monitoring the available alarms and encoders.

This template is part of RaBe's Zabbix template and helpers collection.

Usage

  1. Download the MAGIC AE1 DAB+ GO software.
  2. Start the MAGIC AE1 DAB+ GO software (note that it might also run on Wine under Linux)
  3. Configure SNMP (Configuration -> MAGIC AE1 DAB+ GO -> System Settings -> SNMP Parameters)
    • SNMP Version: v2c
    • Read Community: public
    • SNMP Port: 161
    • Fill out the System Description, Contact and Location
  4. Copy the AVT-*.mib MIB files to your Zabbix Server (they are located at C:\Program Files (x86)\AVT\MAGIC AE1 DAB+ Go\MIB)
  5. Place the MIB files into your default MIB directory (usually /usr/local/share/snmp/mibs) and make sure that the Zabbix server loads them (see Using and loading MIBs).
  6. Restart your Zabbix server
  7. Import the Template_SNMPv2_AVT_AE1_DABPlus_Go.xml into your Zabbix server.
  8. Add the template to your host (or stack template). You might also want to add the SNMPv2_Generic template.
  9. Check if new data arrives

Notes

snmpwalk command

The following snmpwalk command might be helpful for debugging: 

snmpwalk -v 2c -c public <HOST> AVT-AE1-DABPLUS-GO-MIB::avtMagicAe1DabPlusGoEncoder

Template SNMPv2 AVT AE1 DABPlus Go

SNMP template for monitoring AVT MAGIC AE1 DAB+ Go devices based on the AVT-MIB and AVT-AE1-DABPLUS-GO-MIB.

    Date and time of the last alarm counter reset.
  • Clock source (rabe.snmp.avt-ae1-dabplus-go.amae1dabpgoClockSource[])
    Device clock source.

    Mainboard temperature in Degree Celsius.

Macros

  • {$SNMP_COMMUNITY} (default: public)

Discovery

Alarms (rabe.snmp.avt-ae1-dabplus-go.alarm.discovery)

Discovery of Alarms

Returns the following macro for each available Alarm * {#ALARM_NAME} * Alarm name (AVT-AE1-DABPLUS-GO-MIB::amae1dabpgoAlarmName).

Item Prototypes
  • Block counter of alarm "$1" (rabe.snmp.avt-ae1-dabplus-go.amae1dabpgoAlarmBlockCount[{#ALARM_NAME}])
    Alarm block counter. Number of state changes to True during the throttle interval. This counter is cleared when the corresponding notification has been issued.
  • Count of alarm "$1" (rabe.snmp.avt-ae1-dabplus-go.amae1dabpgoAlarmCount[{#ALARM_NAME}])
    Alarm counter. Changes of the state to True.
  • State of alarm "$1" (rabe.snmp.avt-ae1-dabplus-go.amae1dabpgoAlarmState[{#ALARM_NAME}])
    Alarm state.
  • Timestamp of alarm "$1" (rabe.snmp.avt-ae1-dabplus-go.amae1dabpgoAlarmTimestamp[{#ALARM_NAME}])
    Alarm timestamp. Date and time of the last state change.
Trigger Prototypes
  • High: "{#ALARM_NAME}" alarm on {HOST.NAME} 
    {Template SNMPv2 AVT AE1 DABPlus Go:rabe.snmp.avt-ae1-dabplus-go.amae1dabpgoAlarmState[{#ALARM_NAME}].last()}<>2
    The {#ALARM_NAME} alarm's state has fired (is not false).

Encoders (rabe.snmp.avt-ae1-dabplus-go.encoder.discovery)

Discovery of encoders

Returns the following macro for each available encoder * {#ENCODER_STATE} * Status information about the current operation (AVT-AE1-DABPLUS-GO-MIB::amae1dabpgoEncoderState). * {#ENCODER_ONAIR} * On-air status information (AVT-AE1-DABPLUS-GO-MIB::amae1dabpgoEncoderOnAir).

Item Prototypes
  • Algorithm of encoder "$1" (rabe.snmp.avt-ae1-dabplus-go.amae1dabpgoEncoderAlgorithm[{#SNMPINDEX}])
    Coding algorithm.
  • Audio mode of encoder "$1" (rabe.snmp.avt-ae1-dabplus-go.amae1dabpgoEncoderAudioMode[{#SNMPINDEX}])
    Audio mode.
  • Left audio level of encoder "$1" (rabe.snmp.avt-ae1-dabplus-go.amae1dabpgoEncoderLvlLeft[{#SNMPINDEX}])
    Left audio level in dBFS.
  • Right audio level of encoder "$1" (rabe.snmp.avt-ae1-dabplus-go.amae1dabpgoEncoderLvlRight[{#SNMPINDEX}])
    Right audio level in dBFS.
  • On-air status of encoder "$1" (rabe.snmp.avt-ae1-dabplus-go.amae1dabpgoEncoderOnAir[{#SNMPINDEX}])
    On-air status information.
  • Pad rate of encoder "$1" (rabe.snmp.avt-ae1-dabplus-go.amae1dabpgoEncoderPadRate[{#SNMPINDEX}])
    PAD rate in Bit/s.
  • Sampling frequency of encoder "$1" (rabe.snmp.avt-ae1-dabplus-go.amae1dabpgoEncoderSamplFreq[{#SNMPINDEX}])
    Sampling frequency in Hz.
  • State of encoder "$1" (rabe.snmp.avt-ae1-dabplus-go.amae1dabpgoEncoderState[{#SNMPINDEX}])
    Status information about the current operation.
Trigger Prototypes
  • High: Encoder "{#SNMPINDEX}" is not in running state ({ITEM.VALUE1}) on {HOST.NAME} 
    {Template SNMPv2 AVT AE1 DABPlus Go:rabe.snmp.avt-ae1-dabplus-go.amae1dabpgoEncoderState[{#SNMPINDEX}].last()}<>2
    The encoder "{#SNMPINDEX}" is not in running(2) state on this device.
  • High: Encoder "{#SNMPINDEX}" is not on-air on {HOST.NAME} 
    {Template SNMPv2 AVT AE1 DABPlus Go:rabe.snmp.avt-ae1-dabplus-go.amae1dabpgoEncoderOnAir[{#SNMPINDEX}].last()}<>1
