Bug#740815: zabbix-server-mysql: snmp monitoring not works if snmp MIBs are missing

[Alex 'AdUser' Z]

Package: zabbix-server-mysql
Version: 1:2.0.9+dfsg-1~bpo70+2
Severity: normal

Please add 'snmp-mibs-downloader' as soft dependency.
If snmp MIBs are missing, zabbix server fails to query snmp-monitored host.

It looks like this (fragment from log):
--------------------
8133:20140305:202326.714 SNMP item [sysUpTime] on host [rb2011] failed: first network error, wait for 15 seconds
No log handling enabled - turning on stderr logging
MIB search path: //.snmp/mibs:/usr/share/mibs/site:/usr/share/snmp/mibs:/usr/share/mibs/iana:/usr/share/mibs/ietf:/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp
Cannot find module (SNMPv2-MIB): At line 1 in (none)
snmp_build: unknown failure 8135:20140305:202341.823 SNMP item [sysUpTime] on host [rb2011] failed: another network error, wait for 15 seconds
snmp_build: unknown failure 8135:20140305:202356.859 SNMP item [sysUpTime] on host [rb2011] failed: another network error, wait for 15 seconds
snmp_build: unknown failure 8135:20140305:202411.895 SNMP item [sysUpTime] on host [rb2011] failed: another network error, wait for 15 seconds
snmp_build: unknown failure 8135:20140305:202427.047 temporarily disabling SNMP checks on host [rb2011]: host unavailable
--------------------

After i install this package manually, everything begin works:

--------------------
19292:20140305:203130.207 enabling SNMP checks on host [rb2011]: host became available
--------------------

I think, the same issue exists for 'zabbix-server-pgsql' package

We can't Depend or Recommend non-free package although I think it is
possible to Suggest it. Frankly I'm reluctant even to suggest it...

Is there are any alternatives from "main"?

Makes sense, perhaps we can do both -- suggest and add a note to
README.Debian.

Thank you.

I think this data has no alternative free sources.

I've found some packages, suggest on that package:
-----------------
[alex@caspar ~]$ apt-cache rdepends snmp-mibs-downloader
snmp-mibs-downloader
Reverse Depends:
libwireshark-data
libsnmp-base
libsmi2ldbl
libsmi2-common
cacti-spine
-----------------

First two - from 'main' section.

Another possible way - make a note in README.Debian.

WBR, Alex
