Zabbix SNMPv3 Agent Discovery

I have a network emulation with Zabbix server, pc-1 with Zabbix-Agent and pc-2 with SNMPv3 Agent in VirtualBox. Topology With this discovery rule and action Zabbix easily discovers Agent on pc-1 and adds it to the hosts. Discovery Rule For Zabbix-Agent Discovery Action For Zabbix-Agent

I tried to make Zabbix to discover SNMPv3 Agent (pc-2). SNMP and all that needed is installed on both sides. With this command from Zabbix server:

snmpget -u <username> -l authPriv -a MD5 -x DES -A <password> -X <password> 192.168.2.1 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0

I get:

SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: Linux pc2 4.4.0-92-generic #115-Ubuntu SMP Thu Aug 10 09:04:33 UTC 2017 x86_64

But discovery rule and action don't work and Zabbix isn't adding 192.168.2.1 as host.

Here are discovery rule with action for SNMPv3 Agent: Discovery Rule for SNMPv3 Agent Discovery Action For SNMPv3 Agent

Maybe I missed something? There are no normal manuals for this. Thanks for help!

Solution

  • The discovery range used is very large - the discovery is likely just slow and might work if a narrow, targeted range is specified.
