# Mellanox by SNMP ## Overview This template is designed for the effortless deployment of Mellanox monitoring by Zabbix via SNMP and doesn't require any external scripts. ## Requirements Zabbix version: 7.0 and higher. ## Tested versions This template has been tested on: - Mellanox ## Configuration The template uses context macros for the temperature trigger expression. By default, it uses a macro value like {$TEMP.MAX.CRIT}. To adjust the threshold for a certain sensor you can define context macros on the host level, with a value corresponding to your device specifications, for example: {$TEMP.MAX.CRIT:"MGMT/BOARD_MONITOR"}. Please, read https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/7.0/manual/config/macros/user_macros_context for more detailed info on user context macros. ## Setup Refer to the vendor documentation. ### Macros used |Name|Description|Default| |----|-----------|-------| |{$IFCONTROL}||`1`| |{$PSU.STATUS.CRIT}|
