SNMP Basic Tools John covered a number of basic SNMP tools this morning. The most impressive seems to be Net-SNMP The Net-SNMP project is hosted at SourceForge. The Net-SNMP agent implements the standard MIB-II, more interestingly for host monitoring, it also implements both the 'ucdavis' Enterprise MIB and the Host Resources MIB. Net-SNMP is mostly a Unix based subsystem.MacOS X admins should refer to the Net-SNMP for MacOS X site. Windows 2000 server has pretty good support for SNMP built-in, even though there have been recent vulnerability issues. Garth William's site points to a host of PC/Windows SNMP resources. For low-level SNMP programming in Perl, Simon Leinen's BER.pl and SNMP_Session.pm modules, avalaible through CPAN, seem good enough. No implementation of MIB vocabulary though. A Perl module is also part of Net-SNMP. Scotty is a TCL shell that is cool to query MIBs if you're into TCL. Jürgen Schönwälder, Scotty's author, has also released scli, the SNMP Command Line Interface, for less TCL minded sysadmins. Python lovers should check the PySNMP project on SourceForge.
I'll probably set-up an OPML based directory for SNMP resources based on the tutorial later today. |
