Hello all,
I am currently having trouble getting my solarwinds NPM to monitor a vmware esxi 5.1 host using snmpv3.
I have gone through the vmware documentation several times and configured it correctly. I've confirmed my configuration through SSH and snmpwalk from a linux box and I've also used a Windows MIB browser utility and successfully pulled snmpv3 data from my esxi host.
When running a wireshark capture I noticed that the authentication and privacy parameters coming from my solarwinds machine are showing up as <missing> (see attacahhed picture). And I have the user information correctly programmed into the snmp protocols menu in wireshark.
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated, I've worked with support and they seem to think that it's a esxi configuration issue but I don't think so because I have no issues pulling snmpv3 data from locations other than the solarwinds machine. I will be opening another ticket with support soon and hopefully it will get escalated.
