Add a device with an existing SNMPv3 credentials set via S

ncz

Is it possible to add a device incl. correct SNMPv3 credential set. Don't want to use discovery option in script.

Can SNMPv3 work like SNMPv2 does. Example could be:

...

$newNodeProps = @{
IPAddress = $ip;
EngineID = 1;

# SNMP v2 specific
ObjectSubType = "SNMP";

SNMPVersion = 3;

SNMPv3Credentials = "SNMPv3CredSet"

DNS = "";
SysName = "";

...

THANKs a lot in advance.

Yes I believe this example should help https://thwack.solarwinds.com/product-forums/the-orion-platform/f/orion-sdk/45477/add-node-with-snmpv3-credentials/100866#100866

Yes, this is a solution. Not best as we also wanted to use exiting profiles, but it works:

# SNMP v2 specific
ObjectSubType = "SNMP";
SNMPVersion = 3;

SNMPV3Username = '###';
SNMPV3PrivKeyIsPwd = $true;
SNMPV3PrivKey = '###';
SNMPV3PrivMethod = 'AES128';
SNMPV3AuthKeyIsPwd = $true;
SNMPV3AuthKey = '###';
SNMPV3AuthMethod = 'SHA1';

This is how it goes.

Thanks a lot.

If i recall the last time I looked at this area you could omit the credentials and instead assign an existing set to the node after it is created. There might be some useful examples here thwack.solarwinds.com/.../python-api---credential-manager
