[Question] How to load a particular MIB File

[aldevar]

Hi,

I'm trying to use your script to generate a template from the BGP4-MIB file.
I'm looking for an option to just load this file.

The actual behavior is that the script loads all MIB files present in /usr/share/snmp/mibs/ and generate a 52000 lines template with all MIBS.

Thanks for your work.
Regards,

Thanks for posting your question. mib2zabbix relies on the NetSNMP library to traverse MIB files. NetSNMP requires that MIB files be loaded from the directory you described, or $HOME/.snmp/mibs. Please see the NetSNMP documentation for more information on loading MIB files.

Once the MIB file is loaded into the MIB tree, you can select the OID which you wish to generate a Zabbix template for, by specifying the -o flag when you call mib2zabbix. MIB files typically contain multiple root OIDs, so it's worth inspecting the file to decide which part of the tree you wish to generate a template for. If no OID is given, the entire tree is exported to a template, as you have experienced.

Ok, I see that I misunderstodd the use of mib2zabbix at the first time.
Thank you for your answer
