Unlike file system and network interface discovery, the item does not necessarily have to have “snmp.discovery” key - item type of SNMP agent is sufficient.
The OIDs to discover are defined in SNMP OID field in the following format: discovery[{#MACRO1}, oid1, {#MACRO2}, oid2, …,]
where {#MACRO1}, {#MACRO2} … are valid lld macro names and oid1, oid2… are OIDs capable of generating meaningful values for these macros. A built-in macro {#SNMPINDEX} containing index of the discovered OID is applied to discovered entities. The discovered entities are grouped by {#SNMPINDEX} macro value.
To understand what we mean, let us perform few snmpwalks on our switch:
$ snmpwalk -v 2c -c public 192.168.1.1 IF-MIB::ifDescr IF-MIB::ifDescr.1 = STRING: WAN IF-MIB::ifDescr.2 = STRING: LAN1 IF-MIB::ifDescr.3 = STRING: LAN2 $ snmpwalk -v 2c -c public 192.168.1.1 IF-MIB::ifPhysAddress IF-MIB::ifPhysAddress.1 = STRING: 8:0:27:90:7a:75 IF-MIB::ifPhysAddress.2 = STRING: 8:0:27:90:7a:76 IF-MIB::ifPhysAddress.3 = STRING: 8:0:27:2b:af:9e
And set SNMP OID to: discovery[{#IFDESCR}, ifDescr, {#IFPHYSADDRESS}, ifPhysAddress]
Now this rule will discover entities with {#IFDESCR} macros set to WAN, LAN1 and LAN2, {#IFPHYSADDRESS} macros set to 8:0:27:90:7a:75, 8:0:27:90:7a:76, and 8:0:27:2b:af:9e, {#SNMPINDEX} macros set to the discovered OIDs indexes 1, 2 and 3:
