APM & SNMPv3 on Linux

Ralphr

Is anyone currently successfully monitoring processes via APM (2.5) on a Linux server running SNMPv3 via Net-SNMP??? 

I ask because I am testing a RedHat server running NET-SNMP.  Initially running SNMPv2  both NPM and APM were working fine.  Configured the server to run SNMPv3 AuthNoPriv and while NPM still works APM does not.  When you go through the process of trying to monitor/browse processes via SNMP APM  goes out like it is retrieving processes from the server but just returns a blank screen.  Manually adding process names to as a component monitor doesn't work either. 

I ran a data capture and noticed that when APM is sending v3 Gets it is NOT setting the AuthEngineBoot or AuthEngineTime fields and the server simply drops the packets as 'out of time range' .   Before I dig any deeper to resolve this issue in my environment I wanted to make sure someone was already successfully doing this indicating the problem was with my implementation of APM. 

 Thanks in advance.

Have an open ticket on this issue #106911 but am getting no feedback from support or developement as to whether this is an APM 2.5 bug or if it something about my implementation/configuration.  To summarize this issue again, a server running Net-SNMP (Linux server) was working fine in both NPM and APM running SNMPv2.  Reconfigured the agent to run SNMPv3, configured with AuthNoPriv and NPM still runs fine. However APM is no longer able  to browse or monitor services on this server via V3.  A datacapture would seem to indicate that the issue is APM is not sending values for the AuthEngineBoot and the AUthEngineTime fields and therefore the server is responding with out of timeframe errors, but given this is the first time of looked at v3 on the wire Im not 100% confident that's the problem.  A MIB walk from the server using v3 shows that we are able to retrieve all Host info. Our server team is about to configure v3 on all of our Linux servers early this week need to know ASAP if I need to change the agent config or if I'm waiting on a SP to resolve this issue.  Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
