Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a widely used protocol for
|
|
monitoring health and statistics of many types of equipment (e.g. routers,
|
|
computers, printers, power systems, environmental monitors, etc).
|
|
Net-SNMP provides a library, daemons and utilities:
|
|
|
|
- snmpd responds to SNMP queries. It has built-in support for a wide
|
|
range of information, and can be extended. Not to be confused with the
|
|
SNMP daemon in the OpenBSD base OS which is recommended in most cases.
|
|
Manuals are netsnmp-snmpd(8) and netsnmp-snmpd.conf(5) to avoid conflict.
|
|
|
|
- snmptrapd receives notifications from devices (TRAP and INFORM).
|
|
It can log, run external handlers, or forward over the network.
|
|
|
|
- tools for standard queries (snmpget*, snmpwalk, snmpbulk*), writes
|
|
(snmpset), and sending notifications (snmpinform, snmptrap).
|
|
|
|
- tools with special output types; snmpdelta displays differences over
|
|
time, snmptable collates information from SNMP tables (e.g. ifTable),
|
|
and there are single-purpose tools like snmpstatus, snmpdf, snmpps,
|
|
snmptop, snmpnetstat.
|
|
|
|
- snmptranslate converts between numerical and textual forms of MIB OIDs,
|
|
and displays MIB content and structure.
|
|
|
|
Flavor:
|
|
readonly - removes all SET support from the code.
