Nagios Support Forum

Nagios needs an IP or hostname in order to perform a SNMP check, otherwise it does not know how to reach the device. If there is some sort of intermediate SNMP manager that Nagios can give an Engine ID to query, that might work, but you would still need a SNMP for that manager device. Otherwise, if...

Thank you for quick reply.

Does Nagios offer a Service Check for ENGINE ID´s instead of Hostname nor IP Adress ?

Hi, i have same kind of request to pass a ENGINE ID to Nagios, thats why i wont create same topic. I like to set my host name as ENGINE ID and pass it to Nagios because the Device which is sending SNMPv3 Traps is behind an IAD, where the IP Adress is changing. Any suggestions are highly appreciated....

Thank you for pointing that out. By any chance, do you now a forum ?

Have you sent over the zip? i upload the /etc/snmp in zip.

@Box293 instead of a script which execute the snmptrap and the send a SNMPv3 Trap, DisMan Monitoring (internal monitoring) should be able to report problems via SNMP notifications. Im trying to work it out in snmpd.conf file, unfortunately without success. The first source i worked with was and is ...
