SNMPv3 about health_monitoring_plugins HOT 9 CLOSED

Hi ironbishop,
currently we are not working on SNMPv3. In our systems there is currently no need to support that. In general it should be easy to implement, because the netsnmp python bindings seem to fully support SNMPv3.

What plugin do you need?

from health_monitoring_plugins.

I'm experimenting with IDRAC right now, and will probably use the ILO too. Speaking of which, is the ILO one just for version 4, or for all versions?

from health_monitoring_plugins.

If I find some time I will try to implement SNMPv3 in the two plugins next week. Let's see how many effort that is...
The iDRAC plugin needs some bugfixes / changes anyway.

the iLo plugin will work for ilo 3 and 4. iLo 2 did not have a snmp interface for status monitoring. There is only a very slow xml interface to do that and e.g. the harddrive status is not shown via the xml interface. (But I think ilo 2 is obsolete anyway... HP Gen 5 was the last with ilo 2)

Thank you. Please let me know how it goes.

I implemented SNMPv3 in the idrac pugin at the 0.0.8 branch. Tell me if that works for you:

added also for the ilo plugin

Great!!! Thank you so much.
I'll test it asap.

It works, but it "breaks" previous versions checks: is that intentional, and v3 is now mandatory?

This worked before upgrade, but not now:
[nagios@nserver ~]$ check_snmp_idrac.py -H ipaddress -V2 -C community
Unknown - security level is incorrect: None. Check -l parameter.

I tried with v1 too:
[nagios@nserver ~]$ check_snmp_idrac.py -H ipaddress -V 1 -C community
Unknown - security level is incorrect: None. Check -l parameter.
And setting that parameter:
[nagios@nserver ~]$ check_snmp_idrac.py -H ipaddress -V 2 -C community -l noAuthNoPriv
Unknown - snmpget failed - no data for host ipaddress OID: .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.5.4.300.10.1.7.1

Anyway, this is ok, and it's exactly what I need:
[nagios@nserver ~]$ check_snmp_idrac.py -H ipaddress -V 3 -u user -a SHA -A password -x AES -X password -C community -l authPriv
OK ...

Checked ILO too, it works.

check_snmp_ilo4.py -H ipaddress -V 3 -u user -a SHA -A password -x AES -X password -l authPriv --driv es=7 --ps=2 --fan=6
