Zabbix 1.4.2 Support snmpv3?

[sushilk]

Does Zabbix 1.4.2 support snmpv3 by default, if not how make it. I suppose if i can make some changes in DB level, all the built in templates supports snmpv3

Thanks

zabbix supports snmpv3, at least you can add such items - though i haven't tried using them myself.
obviously, zabbix must be compiled with snmp support (for example, net-snmp).

What i mean to ask is the following...
By default there are many templates available in Zabbix. I suppose those are not for snmpv3. How do we converts those to snmpv3 through sql query.

Thanks for the understanding.

you can't just "convert" templates. well, it might be possible in some cases, but usually you will end with some information missing.
additionally, you will in most cases need particular mibs - and quite often you will need a specifically tailored template for your device.
additionally, i don't think it is a good idea to have all of the mib items that you are not using.

i would suggest creating the needed templates by yourself - look at supplied as a guide, but check the devices with snmpwalk and only create items you really are interested in.

I have done an snmp walk and found that the nsmp v3 is configured on my box which i need to monitor, however the when i configure it through the zabbix it throwing me the error "snmp error[1]".

I am sure that there is no firewall blocking snmp traffic between my box and the zabbix server. And also am able to monitor the hostname,contact info, etc through snmpv2, However i wanted to use snmpv3 for monitoring..

Can anyone advice me, your prompt to reply is very much appreciated.

Thanks
