KBI 311015 Issue Addressed: Argent for SNMP GUI Test Failed With Non-Public Default Community String
Version
Argent Advanced Technology 3.1A-1404-A or earlier
Date
Thursday, 24 July 2014
Summary
After customer has successfully done SNMP network scanning, the SNMP settings used for the scanning is saved in Network Group object as default SNMP settings for all nodes in the Network Group
If a licensed node does not have explicit SNMP settings, the ones in Network Group are assumed
When the community string is not ‘public‘, if customer does Rule test or Relator test from GUI for the node, the main GUI will use ‘public‘ always, which will cause test to fail
Note: The issue does not happen to the service
Argent for SNMP service will use the correct community string defined in Network Group, and monitoring will be executed successfully
The issue has been addressed in Argent AT 3.1A-1407-A
Technical Background
The issue is caused by coding error
Resolution
Upgrade to Argent AT 3.1A-1407-A or later
If customer cannot upgrade immediately, he can explicitly set the SNMP settings in the Licensed Node Properties
