Multiple SNMP Communities with NAGIOS

[pmpinto]

Hi everyone, hope you can help me, i need monitoring deices (routers, switch, hosts) with different SNMP communities, if that possible on nagios core?.

Certainly. Most SNMP plugins use the -C switch to define the community string. You will just need to define that (or whatever switch the plugin may use) per-service when setting up your checks.

Thanks for your help, i understand that, i use check_snmp and i use "-C public" and works fine but some of my hosts use public, others public2, and some switch and routers use public3. In my check_snmp expression i use "check_snmp!-C public, public2, public3 -o snmpEngineTime.0" and that not work for my.

Here's the usage for check_snmp:

The plugin is not able to accept multiple SNMP community strings as an argument. You will need to know what the SNMP community string is for a given device and account for that in your command and service definitions.
