Hi,
will nagios core installion with version 4.0.1 supportts snmpV3 Get commands..
As per my understanding the services defined per host like HTTP,PING,SSH,Swap Usage etc used to monitor the system using various plugins.
And here SNMPV3 Get commands does not come in to picture.
If i have to monitor the sytem's performance using SNMPV3 Get messages any work already done in nagios/nagios plugins?

Please correct me if my understanding is right with respect to plugins working methodology.

Or in a nutshell if nagios core needs to support only snmpv3 protocols for both traps and get messages how would i achieve that in ?
Please adivise

Thanks,
Rajesh

You need to identify the oids you wish to monitor and then check them with check_snmp.

SNMP any version, and traps or gets should work with core 4. However there was a recent bug with passive check results that you might find inhibit traps from working properly. As for snmp gets, the check_snmp plugin should handle any version of snmp, at least as of v2.0 and possibly as old as v1.5, this is from the nagios plugins package.
