As we know, Zabbix can handle SNMP polling as well as receiving SNMP Traps upon events. But that SNMP traps are only providing info about the current event and not the rest of the metrics. This might be problematic.
In this talk, we will show a way to let Zabbix act on received SNMP traps in order to get an accurate full picture of the status of the device. This way we can keep the polling interval low, which is good for both the device and Zabbix but make sure we always get the up to date status whenever we need it
