Hi everyone,

I'm using the open source version of Centreon (no license, no commercial subscription) and I would like to monitor equipment like Cisco switches, HP servers, UPS, PDUs, etc. using SNMPv3.

I know that with a commercial license, I could simply use the Monitoring Connector Manager to install packs like network-cisco-standard-snmpv3, but in the open source version, only basic modules are available and the rest require a license.

That said, I was able to install centreon-pack-operatingsystems-linux-snmpv3 via APT, and it works perfectly for Linux hosts using SNMPv3. So I assume it's technically possible to use SNMPv3 monitoring for other devices as well, but manually, without licensed packs.

I’ve already cloned the official centreon-plugins GitHub repo and I can run checks via CLI successfully. How should I configure them properly in the Centreon web interface (host templates, service templates)?

This is part of a large-scale migration from SNMPv2 to SNMPv3 across many existing devices already in production.

:/usr/lib/centreon/plugins# ./centreon_plugins.pl --list-plugin | grep plugin | grep hp
