Getting "Wrong SNMP PDU digest" when executing a check

[gkasKaR]

Hello there,

as the captions mentions, I receive an error when executing any check against a Synology NAS (7.0.1-42218 Update 2). On the other hand nwc_health gets a valid response with the same credentials.

Am I doing something wrong? Or ist this a bug?

Thanks for reply

hey @gkasKaR is this issue still present? Could you try with latest version (@master) as a lot did change in the last few weeks?

Hi there,

maybe this issue is related to #9 in any way? Currently, the protocols are hardcoded to auth_protocol="MD5" and privacy_protocol="AES128", with security_level="auth_with_privacy". Maybe the appliance Synology NAS (7.0.1-42218 Update 2) needs different settings?

Other than sharing my thoughts on this topic, I also would like to encourage you to try the latest version of the program.

With kind regards, Andreas.

Hi again,

we have been able to find that the reason for this error is because check_synology does not support SHA as private key protocol, see https://github.com/wernerfred/check_synology/pull/9#issuecomment-1203587365. With the current version of the program, the error message is:

UNKNOWN - Authentication failure (incorrect password, community or key)

With kind regards, Andreas.
