Snmpjr

Snmpjr aims to provide a clean and simple interface to use SNMP in your ruby code. It wraps the popular SNMP4J library in Java.

Features

Synchronous SNMP Get and Walk for SNMPv2c and SNMPv3
Simple API

Requirements

Java 1.6+
JRuby 1.7+

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'snmpjr'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install snmpjr

Usage

# Initialize Snmpjr with the version of SNMP you want to work with
snmp = Snmpjr.new(Snmpjr::Version::V2C).configure do |config|
  config.host = 'example.com'
  config.community = 'public'
  # Optional Parameters
  config.port = 161 #(default)
  config.retries = 0 #(default)
  config.timeout = 5000 #(default)
  config.max_oids_per_request = 20 #(default)
end

snmp = Snmpjr.new(Snmpjr::Version::V3).configure do |config|
  config.host = 'example.com'
  config.user = 'some user'
  # Agent dependent options
  config.authentication 'authentication_protocol*', 'passphrase'
  config.privacy 'privacy_protocol**', 'passphrase'
  config.context = '' #(default)
  # Optional Parameters
  config.port = 161 #(default)
  config.retries = 0 #(default)
  config.timeout = 5000 #(default)
  config.max_oids_per_request = 20 #(default)
end

# There is no need to specify options that you wish to default
# * Authentication Protocols (SHA|MD5)
# ** Privacy Protocols (DES|3DES|AES128|AES192|AES256)

# Call get on any single Oid
snmp.get '1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0'
=> 'The result'

# Call get on an array of Oids'
snmp.get ['1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0', '1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0']
=> [Snmpjr::Response.new(value: 'First result'), Snmpjr::Response.new(value: 'Second result')]

# Response objects respond to response.error? that returns true if an SNMP error occured eg. noSuchInstance

# Call walk on an Oid
snmp.walk '1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1'
=> [Snmpjr::Response.new(value: 'First response')..Snmpjr::Response.new(value: 'Last response')]

Snmpjr will catch and raise any exceptions that happen in Java land and raise them as RuntimeErrors while preserving the message.

When you request an Array of Oids these will be packaged in a single PDU up to a maximum(configurable).
