How to set up SNMP in Ubuntu server 18.04 to report access point activity to Zabbix dashboard?
I really need assistance in setting up SNMP to work with Zabbix on my dashboard.
I have set up an Ubuntu 18.04 Zabbix server and have added over 18 agents. All virtual machines with Zabbix agents and they are working great!
Now I have gotten to the point where I need to have the AP's set up for Zabbix.
I have followed the instructions and did the following so far:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install snmp snmp-mibs-downloader
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install snmpd
I opened sudo nano /etc/snmp/snmp.conf and commented the following line:
#mibs :
Then I went into the configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
And from there I made changes to the following lines:
Listen for connections from the local system only
agentAddress udp:127.0.0.1:161 <--- commented this part.
Listen for connections on all interfaces (both IPv4 and IPv6)
agentAddress udp:161,udp6:[::1]:161 <--remove the comment from this line to make it work.
Then I set up the Zabbix dashboard side. I will attach pictures of the set-up.
1st zabbix dashboard menu:
2nd dashboard set-up menu:
I get the following error:
I will also attach picture that shows my meraki access point set-up.
Meraki AP SNMP set-up:
Lastly, I will add a picture that shows the Linux Zabbix server terminal set up on that config file.
Linux Zabbix Server:
I am stumped and cannot figure out why Zabbix still throwing out that error.
I have gone thru the Zabbix documentation but cannot find a solution to my problem.

a) It looks like you are trying to poll SNMP devices - this means that there is no need to configure snmpd on the Zabbix server. b) You said you "followed the instructions" - which instructions? c) Please include the error message as text in your question. d) Try to poll the device withsnmpgetfrom the Zabbix server - if that does not work, no point in trying with Zabbix.

@Richlv I appreciate the response, anyways you can give me an example on how to use the snmpget? I am still a noob at linux and trying to figure this all out.
