Hi,
I have inherited a PRTG server from the last person who worked here. One issue he didnt record the SNMPv3 strings anywhere.
Cisco devices dont give these out, is there anyway PRTG can reveal the strings used?

Hello there, thank you for your post.
For security reasons it is not possible to manually extract any "encrypted" credentials stored in the PRTG Configuration File, we advise you to define new SNMP V3 credentials and then enter these credentials in PRTG anew, this will also prevent any unauthorized connections from previous employees.
Best Regards,
