 Description   

I am trying to get our SNMP requests (per MIBs) running.
When using OIDs it works but when requesting for MIBs in items it doesn´t. (eg. IF-MIB::ifOutErrors.1)
It seems that Zabbix can not find the MIBs path??
I have installed the standard MIBs on my debian Server by "apt-get install snmp-mibs-downloader"
After the command "net-snmp-config --default-mibdirs" shows me the install directories of the MIBs on console correctly.

  1. "/home/user/.snmp/mibs:/usr/share/mibs/site:/usr/share/snmp/mibs:/usr/share/mibs/iana:/usr/share/mibs/ietf:/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp"

the standard MIBs are installed in /usr/share/mibs/ietf

as i noticed zabbix uses netsnmp for requesting SNMP items correct?
With netsnmp it seems to work on CI...

    1. snmpget -v 1 -c osnmpa 172.18.6.253 system.sysUpTime.0
    2. DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (593740377) 68 days, 17:16:43.77

Where can i set in Zabbix the SNMP MIBs Path?? is there a default path?

...in the past on a ubuntu system it worked without any issues

THX regards johann
