Hi ,
Which file I need to modify to change the community string @ Nagios xi server.
We enable snmp traps from switches and firewalls. Kindly confirm is this necessary for the passive check.

By default on Nagios XI, the XI server will receive traps from any community, as per the definition in /etc/snmp/snmptrapd.conf:
disableAuthorization yes
However when you start working on SNMPv3, you will need extra stuff added to your /etc/snmp/snmptrapd.conf file to allow them.

Hi ,
Thanks for the update. Currently we have below content at /etc/snmp/snmptrapd.conf
# cat /etc/snmp/snmptrapd.conf
disableAuthorization yes
traphandle default /usr/sbin/snmptthandler
Once we change "disableAuthorization no" , in which file we need to provide the New community string . (Old/default community string is 'Public')

You also specify it in
/etc/snmp/snmptrapd.conf, here are some examples:
