 Description   

We suffer from the fact that Zabbix cannot be integrated into an umbrella mangement via SNMP, i. e. not only sending SNMP traps but also delivering data for SNMP polling to the "outside world".

Hi, do you need northbound interface?
I think you can use custom notification scripts to send snmptraps when problems start/end in zabbix.
What kind of data do you want to poll by SNMP?

Comment by Gebhard Loehnert [ 2017 Sep 07 ]

Hi,
yes, we would like to have a kind of northbound interface.
The mechanism you are describing works for sending traps, however, if an application wants to poll a set of values (based on a defined MIB), this will not work.
An example for the kind of data being polled would be the status of a set of values which are defined/calculated within Zabbix.

Hello,

Do we have any chance to have the feature in next release?

Comment by Vitaly Zhuravlev [ 2018 Sep 25 ]

Hi!

Roman, what do you expect Zabbix to expose using SNMP? Its own internal metrics or problems/metrics it collects? Or do you want it to notify on problems using snmptraps? It would be nice if you guys describe your business case in more detail, since they may differ.

 

This feature is not in the shortlist for the next release(4.2). In the meantime, I suggest you place your votes here using 'vote' button. You may also contact [email protected] if you have really high demand on this feature.

Thank you!

hi @Vitaly

Thanks for the feedback.

I expect to have functionality very similar to Nagios XI
case 1: Zabbix should be able to generate and send SNMP Traps to NBI/Upper Management System/Umbrella based on every Alert/Trigger configured in Zabbix.
case 2: Zabbix should be able to forward received from HW/Network equipment SNMP Traps to NBI/Upper Management System/Umbrella

in short:
Both cases are very critical for many customers Who have already Netcool or Nagios or any other old/legacy system in place but agreed to move to Zabbix. Unfortunately, this impossible to do quickly and such integration are warmly welcomed as will help them to try Zabbix and don't lose opportunities to control their HW/hosts from the existing system.

Hi gentlemen

 

Any update on this topic? I would need this feature as well

What is the difference of this ticket compared to https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBXNEXT-401 -> Is this not an SNMP interface?
