Python snmp using shell calls
Project description
#########
shellsnmp
#########
*Shamelessly (ab)using NET-SNMP shell commands for a quick-and-dirty Python SNMP lib*
Why
---
- I'm not fond of the pySNMP_ API
- snimpy_ requires loading libffi-dev and libsmi-dev (i.e. root privs) on the system
- It's fast enough
Usage
-----
Be sure you have MIB files loaded on your system. You can download them from
Cisco's FTP site like this...
``wget ftp://ftp.cisco.com/pub/mibs/v2/MIB-NAME.my`` ::
from shellsnmp.Poller import SNMP
snmp = SNMP(community='public', host='172.16.1.3')
status, time = snmp.bulkwalk(mibfile='/path/to/IF-MIB.my',
oidspec='ifOperStatus')
Note that only ``bulkwalk()`` has been implemented at this time.
Installation
------------
::
pip install shellsnmp
