SNMPDevice

This gem allows for gathering of information via SNMP, using the SNMP Library for Ruby, on any network device that allows SNMP requests. It is manufacturer agnostic, and accepts a configuration file or hash when creating a new Device instance. See Usage for more information.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'SNMPDevice'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install SNMPDevice

require 'SNMPDevice/device'
include SNMPDevice
 
printer_a = Device.new('10.247.1.20')
printer_a.set_config({'toner' => {:name_of_toner => '1.2.3.4.5.6.7.351.2', :toner_level => '1.2.3.4.5.6.7.351.3'}})
printer_a.toner_info # => [["name_of_toner","toner_level"], ["Yellow", "50"], ["Cyan", "100"], ["Magenta". "10"], ["Black", "0"]]

Depending on the values in the hash or YAML config, you can call something like paper_info or toner_info. It uses Ruby's method_missing function to define names dynamically depending on the configuration values. The results of a function such as toner_info can then be used as needed in other ways, such as turning to JSON and outputting to Javascript to create a web application capable of monitoring various devices.
