Using SNMP v3 for ESXi Hosts?

jduehmig

I thought I would try added SNMPv3 to my ESXi hosts, but after setting up SNMPv3 on the host SolarWinds doesn't like the credentials.  The test fails.  Is there any benefit to adding SNMPv3 when the hosts are part of vShpere that is already configured?

I'd say the only use case for SNMP polling of esxi hosts directly is if you run local disks, as those don't show up under the vcenter integration.
