Translations

This table describes how MIB elements are translated into Zabbix template elements:

• Scalar OID -> Zabbix SNMP Item
• Table OID -> Zabbix SNMP Discovery Rule
• Table Column OID -> Zabbix Discovery Prototype
• Trap/Notification OID -> Zabbix SNMP Trap Item
• OID Enums -> Zabbix Value Maps
