Ionel,
I'm happy to report the following progress:
Following Lonnie's instructions (below), I got the same results.
Specifically, snmpwalk provided a (cool!) list of Asterisk parameters
just as he suggested it would. (No surprise there.)
They say a little bit of knowledge is dangerous. The little bit I know
about SNMP and Zabbix is frightful. I also understand there are
security implications if this is done incorrectly. Therefore, while
I'll gladly share what I learn along the way, it is vital that
everything be second-guessed and verified by those who know what they're
doing!
See you later.

Please do share your progress Dan. I am also very interested in
getting SNMP and Zabbix working together.
Kind regards

Good morning Lonnie,
What a pleasant surprise. Thank you, yet again, for lending such a
capable, helping hand.
I'm excited about the prospect of getting SNMP running. It is hoped to
provide some valuable statistics and diagnostics for several AstLinux
installations.
Part of my goal is to learn more about SNMP and Zabbix, both of which
are new to me. What I've seen thus far, while monitoring servers,
routers, switches, and printers at work, is quite cool and useful.
Expanding this capability to Asterisk would be fantastic.
I have the Build Engine busily baking r6073 this morning. While it's in
the oven, I'll review the path and symlink information kindly provided
by you and James Babiak so that I can hit the ground running.
I'll keep everyone posted on the results.
Thanks again for all that you do. (You too, James.)

with how netsnmp was built was necessary... agentx needed to be
enabled and for some reason Buildroot disabled the Unix transport,
possibly a problem with uClibc, but builds fine with our eglibc toolchain.
