Adding nodes using SNMPv2 has been easy since there are node properties that can be set, but when using SNMPv3 there are linked properties and I am not sure how to code this correctly.
With SNMPv2 I do this:
SWIS.dictionary props = new SWIS.dictionary()
{
{ new SWIS.item { key = "IpAddress", value = asset.MgmtIpAddress, type = "System.String" } },
{ new SWIS.item { key = "IPAddressGUID", value = ConvertIpToIpGuid(asset.MgmtIpAddress), type = "System.Guid" } },
{ new SWIS.item { key = "Caption", value = asset.Hostname, type = "System.String" } },
{ new SWIS.item { key = "DynamicIP", value = false, type = "System.Boolean" } },
{ new SWIS.item { key = "EngineID", value = 1, type = "System.Int32" } },
{ new SWIS.item { key = "Vendor", value = asset.Vendor, type = "System.String"} },
{ new SWIS.item { key = "PollInterval", value = 120, type = "System.Int32"} },
{ new SWIS.item { key = "StatCollection", value = 2, type = "System.Int32"} },
{ new SWIS.item { key = "Community", value = community, type = "System.String"} },
{ new SWIS.item { key = "ObjectSubType", value = "SNMP", type = "System.String"} },
{ new SWIS.item { key = "SNMPVersion", value = 2, type = "System.Int32"} },
{ new SWIS.item { key = "Status", value = 1, type = "System.Int32"} },
{ new SWIS.item { key = "UnManaged", value = false, type = "System.Boolean"} },
{ new SWIS.item { key = "Allow64BitCounters", value = true, type = "System.Boolean" } },
{ new SWIS.item { key = "SysObjectID", value = String.Empty, type = "System.String"} },
{ new SWIS.item { key = "VendorIcon", value = String.Empty, type = "System.String"} }
};
return Create("Orion.Nodes", props);
So for SNMPv3 I tried this:
SWIS.dictionary snmpv3Creds = new SWIS.dictionary()
{
new SWIS.item { key = "AuthenticationKey", value = "asdfghjkl", type = "System.String" },
new SWIS.item { key = "AuthenticationMethod", value = "SHA1", type = "System.String" },
new SWIS.item { key = "Context", value = String.Empty, type = "System.String" },
new SWIS.item { key = "PrivacyKey", value = "zxcvbnm,./", type = "System.String" },
new SWIS.item { key = "PrivacyMethod", value = "AES128", type = "System.String" },
new SWIS.item { key = "Username", value = "User", type = "System.String" }
};
SWIS.dictionary props = new SWIS.dictionary()
{
{ new SWIS.item { key = "IpAddress", value = asset.MgmtIpAddress, type = "System.String" } },
{ new SWIS.item { key = "IPAddressGUID", value = ConvertIpToIpGuid(asset.MgmtIpAddress), type = "System.Guid" } },
{ new SWIS.item { key = "Caption", value = asset.Hostname, type = "System.String" } },
{ new SWIS.item { key = "DynamicIP", value = false, type = "System.Boolean" } },
{ new SWIS.item { key = "EngineID", value = 1, type = "System.Int32" } },
{ new SWIS.item { key = "Vendor", value = asset.Vendor, type = "System.String"} },
{ new SWIS.item { key = "PollInterval", value = 120, type = "System.Int32"} },
{ new SWIS.item { key = "StatCollection", value = 2, type = "System.Int32"} },
{ new SWIS.item { key = "ObjectSubType", value = "SNMP", type = "System.String"} },
{ new SWIS.item { key = "SNMPVersion", value = 3, type = "System.Int32"} },
{ new SWIS.item { key = "Status", value = 1, type = "System.Int32"} },
{ new SWIS.item { key = "UnManaged", value = false, type = "System.Boolean"} },
{ new SWIS.item { key = "Allow64BitCounters", value = true, type = "System.Boolean" } },
{ new SWIS.item { key = "SysObjectID", value = String.Empty, type = "System.String"} },
{ new SWIS.item { key = "VendorIcon", value = String.Empty, type = "System.String"} },
{ new SWIS.item { key = "SNMPv3Credentials", value = snmpv3Creds, type = "Orion.SNMPv3Credentials"} },
};
return Create("Orion.Nodes", props);
What is the correct way to add devices that use SNMP v3?
Some additional information.
As part of the process, after adding the node I add set all of our custom properties, add vendor specific pollers, and discover interfaces and add them.
