 Description   

Hi,

could you please add the media type SNMP trap in one of the next releases of Zabbix. It would be very nice to notify other NMS about events in Zabbix.

For this you would perhaps have to apply for a enterprise number of the Zabbix project to generate specific traps.

Thanks.

Michael Schwartzkopff

I agree this would be a great feature.

Hmm... Email, SMS and XMPP is somehow something most likely used individual-related. I believe it's not that common to have SNMP traps per (many) user(s).
Why is it not sufficient to use a custom alertscripts?

Comment by Dibyendu Paul [ 2016 Sep 21 ]

@Marc It is not quite comprehensive how to create a custom alert script to send snmptraps for each triggers. How the input for each trigger will come to snmptrapd? Any new action to be defined for creating a trap for each trigger? Not clear at all.

This is one of the required functionality and so many requests were raised but still open since 2011! I wonder why!

Comment by Marc [ 2016 Sep 21 ]

dibypaul,
not sure whether I understood you correctly. Zabbix allows to create a single action that escalates by a custom alertscript (sending a SNMP trap) for any trigger event - without having to specify triggers explicitly.

The answer to your second question is nobody has considered to (co-)sponsor development yet and 4 votes do not represent a high demand.

"not sure whether I understood you correctly. Zabbix allows to create a single action that escalates by a custom alertscript (sending a SNMP trap) by any trigger event - without having to specify triggers explicitly." ---> Didnt understand, could you elaborate?
How do I create a single action that escalates by a custom alertscript for a trigger.
what my script will contain? what will be the input? Pretty confusing.

How to create a poll for the demand of this feature?

please see http://zabbix.org/wiki/Getting_help for support options - it would be best to take such discussions to places like IRC etc.

there is no need to start separate polls, you can already vote on these issues as per http://zabbix.org/wiki/Docs/bug_reporting_guidelines#Reporting_an_issue - see the upper right corner.

@richlv http://zabbix.org/wiki/Getting_help , not quite helpful. I have already posted this multiple times, no response.

Comment by richlv [ 2016 Sep 21 ]

dibypaul, nevertheless, this issue tracker is not for support discussions - that only creates more noise and leaves developers with less time to create things. consider camping out on IRC for longer, somebody is bound to help you eventually.
