In such cases therefore, specify the context name of the username in the context text box. A context is identified by the SNMPEngineID value of the entity hosting the management information (also called a contextEngineID) and a context name that identifies the specific context (also called a contextName). If the USERNAME provided is associated with a context name, then the eG agent will be able to poll the MIB and collect metrics only if it is configured with the context name as well.
An SNMP context is a collection of management information accessible by an SNMP entity. An item of management information may exist in more than one context and an SNMP entity potentially has access to many contexts. This parameter appears only when v3 is selected as the SNMPVERSION. Therefore, specify the name of such a user against the username parameter. To extract performance statistics from the MIB using the highly secure SNMP v3 protocol, the eG agent has to be configured with the required access privileges – in other words, the eG agent should connect to the MIB using the credentials of a user with access permissions to be MIB. SNMP version 3 (SNMPv3) is an extensible SNMP Framework which supplements the SNMPv2 Framework, by additionally supporting message security, access control, and remote SNMP configuration capabilities. This parameter appears only when v3 is selected as the snmpversion. Therefore, if the snmpversion chosen is v3, then this parameter will not appear.
This parameter is specific to SNMP v1 and v2 only. The SNMP community name that the test uses to communicate with the firewall. However, if a different SNMP framework is in use in your environment, say SNMP v2 or v3, then select the corresponding option from this list. Accordingly, the default selection in the snmpversion list is v1. The port at which the monitored target exposes its SNMP MIB the default is 161.īy default, the eG agent supports SNMP version 1.
