Zabbix SNMPv2 Netgear Box Services template

Monitors Netgear Box Service Feature (fastPathBoxServices) parameters, such as sensors, fans and power supplies exposed by the NETGEAR-BOXSERVICES-PRIVATE-MIB via SNMPv2.

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

Features

  • Uses low-level discovery in order to detect fans, power supplies and temperature sensors.
  • Supports multi-unit devices (such as switch stacks)
  • The power supply trigger respects the supply type and won't fire in case a removable power supply is not present.

Macros

  • {$SNMP_COMMUNITY}

SNMPv2 community which defaults to public

Requirements

  • Zabbix >= 3.0
  • Your host must support SNMPv2
  • NETGEAR-BOXSERVICES-PRIVATE-MIB and its dependencies must be available and accessible by the Zabbix server (should be present within the MIB package of your Netgear device)

Usage

  1. Import the Template_SNMPv2_Netgear_Box_Services.xml into your Zabbix server.
  2. Add the template to your host (or stack template)
  3. Add an SNMP interface configuration to your host
  4. Set the {$SNMP_COMMUNITY} macro to your desired community if you don't use public
  5. Check if new data arrives

Notes

snmpwalk command

The following snmpwalk command might be helpful for debugging: 

snmpwalk -v 2c -c public <HOST> NETGEAR-BOXSERVICES-PRIVATE-MIB::fastPathBoxServices
