SNMP Setup

SNMP Setup

Protocol Wizard supports SNMP v1/v2c (v3 planned).

Step-by-Step

1. Add Integration → Select SNMP
2. Fill in:
   • Device Name
   • Host / IP Address
   • Port (161 default)
   • Community String (usually "public" for read-only)
   • SNMP Version (1 or 2c)
   • Use Template. If yes, selected template will pre install entities available if install successfull
   • Update Interval (seconds)
3. Integration auto-tests connection → success = ready!

Important Notes for Devices

• Enable SNMP on your device (e.g., switch/router/NAS/printer)
  • Example: Ubiquiti UniFi → Settings → Services → SNMP → Enable v2c
  • MikroTik → IP → SNMP → Enable, set community
  • Synology NAS → Control Panel → Terminal & SNMP → Enable SNMPv2
• Use read-only community for safety (e.g., "public")
• For write access → use write community (rarely needed, often disabled)

Using the Card

• Add Protocol Wizard Card
• Select your SNMP device
• Enter OID (e.g., .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0 for sysDescr)
• Choose data type → Read → see result
• The integration automatically does a get or a walk regarding the OID. For tables → Press table button → view results in table

Probe and control any register in real-time with the included card

For SNMP 'register the Address' is the OID see https://mibs.observium.org/mib/IF-MIB/#interfaces for details
