Hi,

I try to monitor printers with snmp V3 ( for ex : RICOH MP 2554  or LaserJet 500 color M551 )

the snmpwalk works but I must specify a context name ( -n option ) 

How can I put this parameter in observium ( CE ) ?

in the snmp "Authentication Configuration” form, there is no field for context value.

thanks,
