Zabbix Errors

This are some of the errors that I came across when setting up my zabbix Monitor system:

Error: Cannot find value map “Switch Netgear port status” used for item “Port 19 Status” on “Template_Netgear_GS748T

Solution:

• Open the Zabbix Web gui,
• go to Administration / General
• Click on the Gui dropdown and select Value Mapping
• Click the Create Value Mapping button
• name: Switch Netgear port status
  mappings: create two, 1 -> up, 2 -> down
• Click Add

Error: Cannot import template “Template SNMP FreeNAS”, linked templates “Template SNMP Disks, Template SNMP Generic, Template SNMP Interfaces, Template SNMP Processors” do not exist.

Solution:

• Copy the mib file from your truenas server,
  if you are clever enough you should be able to cat /usr/local/share/snmp/mibs/FREENAS-MIB.txt on the Shell page.
• copy and paste on your Zabbix server: nano /usr/share/snmp/mibs/FREENAS-MIB.txt
• Restart your zabbix-server service.
• Download and Import the following templates:
• https://share.zabbix.com/official-templates/snmp-devices/snmp-interfaces-discovery 
• https://share.zabbix.com/official-templates/snmp-devices/snmp-processors-discovery 
• https://share.zabbix.com/official-templates/snmp-devices/snmp-generic
• https://share.zabbix.com/official-templates/snmp-devices/snmp-disks-discovery
• Then you can install the TrueNAS/FreeNAS SNMP w/ZFS Stats template:
• https://share.zabbix.com/storage-devices/freenas/freenas-snmp-w-zfs-stats

Testing for connectivity:

From zabbix server or from client on the command line, you can use telnet:  

telnet host 10050
telnet 192.168.56.34 10050 

If there is a connection error, then it means there is no connectivity between devices, probably a port issue or firewall.
