I need to know how I can add a new SNMPv3 Command using the API or Zendmd script to Zenoss.

I know I can add a new command using the dashboard Advanced -> Settings -> Commandsbut I need to a way to add the command via command line.

Also, how does Zenoss know to use the SNMPv2 versus the SNMPv3 command when modeling and polling

Hi Ken,

The "which version on modelling and polling" question is answered by "it uses the device's zSnmpVer property". It is only the commands in the GUI where there are the the 2 versions and you have to know which to use.

Can't give you such a quick answer though for creating a new one :(

Cheers,

Jane

To see the snmpwalkV3 command, start from INFRASTRUCTURE, click DETAILS and then "Device Administration". This shows you commands that apply to all devices. Double-click the snmpwalk_v3 command to see what is run:

snmpwalk -${device/zSnmpVer} -l authNoPriv -a ${device/zSnmpAuthType} -x ${device/zSnmpPrivType} -A ${device/zSnmpAuthPassword} -X ${device/zSnmpPrivPassword} -u ${device/zSnmpSecurityName} ${device/snmpwalkPrefix}${here/manageIp}:${here/zSnmpPort} system

Jane,

Thanks for the response. I know how to view what is in the command since I created the snmpwalkv3 command from scratch.

What I need to know is, on a device, once I assign the v3 property to the device, what tells Zenoss to use this snmpwalkV3 command and not another command

Thanks,

Ken
