Versions:
Windows: 5.4.2.1
SUSE 11 i586 and x64: 5.4.1-77.6
The issue I am coming across is that I am trying to setup Nagios to
monitor a large network of devices that are on the on the public internet. Due
to the open nature of these devices, we have setup community names on them that
include the '$' symbol. These devices are all running on top of a hardened,
stripped down version of Linux and our current windows based monitoring
software has no problems reading the SNMP info using these community names (I
am looking to replace the current software as it is not scalable and we have
exceeded its capacity).
So the big issue is as follows. On a Windows based system, using
net-snmp 5.4.2.1 I have no problems querying a device and getting the info I
request. On Suse 11 I get no response from the device. Running the command with
the debug option, I can see the community name that is being passed is
incorrect. If I enter 'smarta$$' as my community name, net-snmp sends it to the
device as 'smarta12212'.
With over 2,000 devices being monitored, changing the community names
is not an option (yes both the RO and RW community names have a '$' in them).
Does anyone know how to tell net-snmp, and more specifically snmpget how to
properly pass these characters to the remote device?
As reference, the command I am using is:
Snmpget -v 2c -c smarta$$ -d X.X.X.X
.1.3.6.1.4.1.8744.5.6.1.1.7.0
Thanks in advance,
Gregory Young
