Dear Watchers,
It had been asked for a while, we released it last December: a SNMP version 3 template is provided for Linux in our Monitoring Connectors. The documentation can be found there.

I invite you to tell us here as a reply to this post, if you have feedback to give us about it.

  • Does it fit your needs?
  • Is it easy enough to use?
  • Is the documentation clear?

Any feedback will be great!

Once we judge that the template is satisfying enough given your feedback, we’ll merge it into the Linux SNMP monitoring connector and apply the same method with other connectors

hello

when you say merge, will it be the same template with “v1-2 OR v3”, and I can choose to use either?

As in if I put some snmp v3 macro on a host template for all my linux, but decide I still want to use v2 on some linux I couldn’t modify to v3, will the check commands be able to use the correct parameters by setting the snmp version to 2c or 3 ?

Hi @christophe.niel-ACT,

By “merge” I mean the v3 template will be introduced to the standard Linux SNMP pack without changing the v1/v2 one. There will be two templates.
