snmp v3

to get the net-snmp-config tool the libsnmp-dev package must be installed:

# apt-get install libsnmp-dev
# net-snmp-config –create-snmpv3-user -ro -A ‘geheim’ -X ‘secret’ -a SHA -x AES icinga

you may also create a new user using snmp commands:

#snmpusm -v 3 -u -l authNoPriv -a MD5 -A localhost passwd

to simplify the usage a local user profile should be created in ~/.snmp/snmp.conf:

defSecurityName
defContext “”
defAuthType MD5
defSecurityLevel authNoPriv
defAuthPassphrase defVersion 3

now a simple command looks like:

#snmpget localhost sysUpTime.0
