Hello wernerfred,

how do I get the authkey privkey for running the script. It was not explained where they come from.

So, please give me a hint.

Thanks in advance, Chris

Hi @2000teddy,

as described in the README.md file "This plugin uses snmpv3 with MD5 + AES to check a lot of different values on your Synology DiskStation."

So the point is snmp in version 3. If you look up the definition you will learn about authentication and privacy in snmp verison 3 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Network_Management_Protocol)

So you have to define the two values in the snmp settings on the host you want to check. If you want to check a synology you will find these in the settings under terminal & snmp. Make sure to check snmp v3.

Hello wernerfred,

I was giving the account informations in the settings on terminal & snmp, but there is no possibility there to generate a privkey or a authkey, only username an password.

Also the synology documentation gives no hint for both of the mentioned keys: https://www.synology.com/en-us/knowledgebase/DSM/help/DSM/AdminCenter/system_snmp

It seems that synology doesn't maintain the key features?!

Best regards, Mit besten Grüßen,

Christian Ullmann

You can set the username, the password (with protocol) and under snmp privacy you can set another password (with protocol).

With the current version of check_synology you have to choose MD5 and AES. Those two passwords are your auth(tentication)key and priv(acy)key.

Hope this helps, if not let me know your thoughts! Cheers
