SNMP v3 Error

[riconeo]

nagios XI version 5.2.9

Nagios XI command:
check_xi_service_snmp! -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.41263.502.0 -P 3 --seclevel=authPriv --secname=nagios --authproto=sha --authpasswd='12345678' --privpasswd='12345678' --protocols=sha,aes -m NUTANIX-MIB

Error on the check:
check usage:
check_snmp -H <ip_address> -o <OID> [-w warn_range] [-c crit_range]
[-C community] [-s string] [-r regex] [-R regexi] [-t timeout] [-e retries]
[-l label] [-u units] [-p port-number] [-d delimiter] [-D output-delimiter]
[-m miblist] [-P snmp version] [-L seclevel] [-U secname] [-a authproto]
[-A authpasswd] [-x privproto] [-X privpasswd]

Anyone can help on why am I getting this error?

Thanks.

I believe you need to use "--privproto=sha,aes" instead of "--protocols=sha,aes" in your command. Let us know if changing it makes a difference.

Try running something like this:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_snmp -H <ipaddress> -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.41263.502.0 -P 3 -L authPriv -U nagios -X '12345678' -A '12345678' -a SHA -x AES -m NUTANIX-MIB

check_xi_service_snmp! -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.41263.502.0 -P 3 --seclevel=authPriv --secname=nagios --authproto=SHA --authpasswd='12345678' --privproto=AES --privpasswd='12345678' -m NUTANIX-MIB

Let us know the results.

Thank you

this syntax command is good. I believe there is a bug in the current release for SNMP v3.
Pls fix it so that we do not need to manually change it.

Which of the SNMP wizards did you use to set up your check? I will test it, and file a bug report if it is confirmed. Thanks!

SNMP wizard.

Not the snmp trap or snmp walk, just snmp.

Actually, I was not able to recreate the issue. I ran the SNMP wizard in Nagios XI 5.2.9 (SNMP wizard version 1.5.5), and here's the config that was generated:

Code: Select all

define service {
	host_name			001-test-snmp
	service_description		Uptime
	use				xiwizard_snmp_service
	check_command			check_xi_service_snmp! -o sysUpTime.0 -P 3 --seclevel=authPriv --secname=xxx --authproto=md5 --authpasswd='xxx' --privpasswd='xxx' --privproto=des -l "Uptime"
	max_check_attempts		5
	check_interval			5
	retry_interval			1
	check_period			xi_timeperiod_24x7
	notification_interval		60
	notification_period		xi_timeperiod_24x7
	notifications_enabled		1
	contacts			nagiosadmin
	_xiwizard			snmp
	register			1
	}

As you can see, I have "--privproto=" instead of "--protocols="... Are you using the same version of the SNMP wizard? Is your Nagios XI server a "new install" or an upgrade?

I confirmed it is fixed after the snmp wizard is updated from 1.5.2 to 1.5.5.
I am using an upgrade version.
