    Zabbix and snmp v3 monitoring

    Hello all, i got strange problem. Im using Zabbix 7.0.17.
    Im trying to monitor HSM device using snmp v3.
    I entered Security name, Authentication passphrase and Privacy passphrase, i set up Authentication protocol and Privacy protocol.
    Zabbix connected to the device and i could monitor my device. I changed both passwords for more secure on the device, changed them on zabbix and zabbix coudnt connetc.
    At the same time i used different snmp testing tool and i could connect with new passwords.
    Only zabbix had a problem and i recieve error:
    Cannot conect to 192.168.1.4. Authentication failure, incorrect password, comunity, key or duplicate engineID.
    Any idea what can be a problem here? What zabbix serwer remmembered? Where i can look for more info?

    The passwords are definitely entered correctly.

          You have to have a properly configured snmpd running on that host, which can provide all that information. Only after that you can query it using snmp (version depending on setup, v2c, v3)
