snmp V3 & context
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,

Why do you need to specify a context?

because , without context , there is a error…

Oh dear! How odd!
I'd recommend just using snmp v2c, since we don't currently have the ability to set a default snmp context.
