| Description |
|
I've configured a host with a low level discovery rule, where the SNMPv3 'auth' and 'priv' passwords were different. The low level discovery rule fails to run (it throws an "SNMP error" in zabbix_server.log). As soon as I changed the 'auth' and 'priv' passwords to the same value, I was able to get the discovery to run. if you guys need any more info from me, please feel free to let me know (or mark the ticket NEEDINFO or whatever) |

what exactly do you mean by "changed the 'auth' and 'priv' passwords to the same value" ? where were they changed ? when auth & priv are different, does it work with snmpget ? |

I mean that the SNMPv3 auth and priv passwords were not the same... the two passwords were different on the host itself and in the Zabbix discovery rule. I created a brand new SMPv3 user on the device (a Cisco 2811 router) and when I created that new user I made the 'auth' and 'priv' passwords the same. I then changed the low level discovery rule in Zabbix, using the new SNMPv3 user credentials, and LLD started working fine. Doing SNMP gets the "old fashioned way" by plugging in OID values directly to the host seemed to work fine, with SNMPv3 and separate 'auth' and 'priv' passwords. |
