Check_aus is a snmp-enabled software designed to verify the status of an AUS device. It is an effective tool for professionals who want to monitor their AUS devices and ensure their proper functioning.
The software comes with various usage options, including -H (--hostname) for entering the hostname to query, -C (--community) for SNMP read community (which defaults to public and used with SNMP v1 and v2c), and -v (--snmp_version) which offers three options; 1 for SNMP v1 (default), 2 for SNMP v2c that uses get_bulk for less overhead, and 3 for SNMPv3 (which requires -U option).
Other usage options include -p (--port) for setting the SNMP port (default 161), -L (--seclevel) for choosing between "noAuthNoPriv," "authNoPriv," or "authPriv," -U (--secname) for setting the username for SNMPv3 context, and -c (--context) for setting the SNMPv3 context name (default is empty string).
Additionally, Check_aus offers -A (--authpass) for setting the authentication password (cleartext ascii or localized key in hex with 0x prefix generated by using "snmpkey" utility auth password and authEngineID), -a (--authproto) for setting the Authentication protocol (MD5 or SHA1), and -X (--privpass) for setting the privacy password (cleartext ascii or localized key in hex with 0x prefix generated by using "snmpkey" utility privacy password and authEngineID).
More options include -M (--maxmsgsize) for setting the maximum message size (useful only for v1 or v2c), -t (--timeout) for setting the seconds before the plugin times out (default=15), -V (--version) for displaying the plugin version, and -h (--help) to get usage help.
Overall, Check_aus is a powerful software that is ideal for checking the status of AUS devices, and its numerous usage options make it a great investment for individuals who want to get the job done right.
