Zabbix is an open-source monitoring software tool for diverse IT components, including networks, servers, virtual machines (VMs) and cloud services. It provides monitoring metrics, such as network utilization, CPU load and disk space usage, as well as uptime and response time. It can also be used to monitor various network services such as SMTP, POP3, HTTP, and SNMP. Zabbix is one of the most widely used open-source monitoring software, It is free and support large scale of environments with Enterprise level features. It has a web-based front-end, along with a back-end server written in C, which makes it platform-independent and able to run on a wide range of operating systems, including Linux, Windows, and macOS.

In this example, we will attempt to monitor Teltonika-Networks devices using Zabbix agent as well as SNMPv2 and SNMPv3 with authentication.

No matter which method you choose, you will also need to set up a database for the Zabbix server to use, and configure the PHP front-end for the web interface. The specific steps for these tasks will vary depending on your operating system and environment, but you can find detailed instructions in the Zabbix documentation.

===Adding Agent Host to Zabbix front-end===

-----

 +
Once we have agent set-up on the router, we will add it as host in the zabbix server. In order to do so login to the front-end of the Zabbix server and navigate to '''Monitoring → Hosts''' on the left hand menu. Click on the '''Create host''' button in the right-hand corner of the screen. A window will pop-up where we will configure the host accordingly:
 +
 +
#Hostname: RUTX11
 +
#Templates: Templates/Operating systems → Linux by Zabbix agent
 +
#Host groups: Linux servers
 +
#Interfaces: Click '''Add''', select '''Agent''' and input IP address of the router
 +
#Leave other settings as default and press '''Add''' to save settings.
 +
 +

 +
 +
 +
The router is now added as a host and you should see it in the list of monitored devices:
 +
 +
[[File:Monitoring via Zabbix host added v1.png|1143x1143px]]
 +
 +
 +
Now we can see what information are we getting from the router.
 +
 +
In order to view raw data, select '''Latest data''' where you will be redirected to another page with different sorts of data collected from the router. Here is an example of '''system information''':
 +
 +

 +
 +
 +
In order to see graphs, click on '''Graphs''' in the host list. Here is an example of Mobile interface data:

 +
 +
==Monitoring via SNMP==
 +
 +
SNMP provides a simpler way to monitor network devices, but it has some limitations. SNMP data collection is mostly based on pre-defined OIDs, it might not provide detailed information or the information is not available in the OID, whereas Zabbix Agent can be configured to collect specific data and provide more detailed information.
 +
 +
It's possible to use both SNMP and Zabbix agent to monitor the same device in conjunction to get the most complete and detailed view of the device.
 +
 +
===SNMPv2 Router Configuration===
 +
-----
 +
 +
Navigate to '''Services > SNMP''':
 +
# Enable SNMP service
 +
#Enable SNMP v2c Mode
 +
# Leave other settings as default
 +
 +
 +

 +
 +
===Adding SNMPv2 host to Zabbix front-end ===
 +
-----
 +
 +
Once we have SNMPv2 enabled on the router, we will add it as host in the zabbix server. In order to do so login to the front-end of the Zabbix server and navigate to '''Monitoring → Hosts''' on the left hand menu. Click on the '''Create host''' button in the right-hand corner of the screen. A window will pop-up where we will configure the host accordingly:
 +
 +
#Hostname: RUTX11-SNMP2
 +
#Templates: Templates/network devices → Network Generic Device by SNMP
 +
#Host groups: Discovered hosts
 +
#Interfaces: Click '''Add''', select '''SNMP''', input IP address of the router and chose SNMPv2 version.
 +
#Leave other settings as default and press '''Add''' to save settings.
 +
 +
[[File:Monitoring via Zabbix SNMP2 host add v1.png|754x754px]]
 +
 +
The router is now added as a host using SNMP v2 and you should see it in the list of monitored devices:
 +
 +
 +
[[File:Monitoring via Zabbix SNMP2 hosts list v1.png|1143x1143px]]
 +
 +
 +
Now we can see what information are we getting from the router.
 +
 +
In order to view raw data, select '''Latest data''' where you will be redirected to another page with different sorts of data collected from the router.
 +
Here is an example of '''wwan0 interface''':
 +
 +
 +
[[File:Monitoring via Zabbix SNMP2 raw data v1.png|1146x1146px]]
 +
 +
 +
In order to see graphs, click on '''Graphs''' in the host list. Here is an example of LAN interface data:
 +
 +

 +
 +
 +
===SNMPv3 Router Configuration ===
 +
-----
 +
 +
SNMP v3 provides more security features than v2, making it more suitable for use in secure network environments.
 +
Zabbix and Teltonika routers both support SNMPv3.
 +
Router configuration is as follow:
 +
 +
Navigate to '''Services > SNMP''':
 +
#Enable SNMP service
 +
#Enable SNMP v2c Mode
 +
#Enable SNMP v3 Mode
 +
#Leave other settings as default
 +
 +
 +
[[File:Monitoring via Zabbix SNMP3 router v1.png|border|class=tlt-border|939x939px]]
 +
 +
 +
Navigate to '''Services > SNMP > SNMPv3 Users''' and add new instance with authentication information:
 +
 +
#Security Level: Authentication and privacy
 +
#Authentication type: MD5
 +
#Create an authentication passphrase
 +
#Privacy type: DES
 +
#Create Privacy passphrase
 +
#Leave other settings as default, Save & Apply settings
 +
 +

===Adding SNMPv3 host to Zabbix front-end===
 +
-----
 +
 +
Once we have SNMPv3 setup on the router, we will add it as host in the zabbix server. In order to do so login to the front-end of the Zabbix server and navigate to '''Monitoring → Hosts''' on the left hand menu. Click on the '''Create host''' button in the right-hand corner of the screen. A window will pop-up where we will configure the host accordingly:
 +
 +
#Hostname: RUTX11-SNMP3
 +
#Templates: Templates/network devices → Network Generic Device by SNMP
 +
# Host groups: Discovered hosts
 +
#Interfaces: Click '''Add''', select '''SNMP''', input IP address of the router and chose SNMPv3 version.
 +
#Enter required authentication data from the router.
 +
# Leave other settings as default.
 +
