Set the default SNMP version for wizards

The default version in Add Node and Discovery wizards is SNMPv3. You can adjust the default SNMP version.

  1. On the SolarWinds Platform server, open the Database Manager.

    You can use MS SQL Studio. Just query the WebSettings table and set the DefaultSNMPProtocolVersion to SNMPv2 or SNMPv3.

  2. If servers are already available, expand SQL Servers > SolarWindsOrion, and select the WebSettings table.

    If no servers are available, click Add Orion Server and provide the credentials.

  3. Click Execute query.

  4. Click Enable table editing.

  5. In Results, search for DefaultSNMPProtocolVersion. Set the value to SNMPv2 or SNMPv3.

    6. If the setting is not available in the table, enter the following query and execute the query. The query sets SNMPv2 as the default. To use SNMPv3, change it in the code.

    INSERT INTO [dbo].[WebSettings] VALUES ('DefaultSNMPProtocolVersion','SNMPv2')

The default SNMP version is changed. Refresh the SolarWinds Platform Web Console in your browser.
