public class SNMPClient
extends QueryClient

The SNMPClient class supports command execution using the SNMP protocol.
Here is example of using an SNMPClient for disks discovery:

     client = Framework.getClientFactory(ClientsConsts.SNMP_PROTOCOL_NAME).createClient()
     data_name_mib = '1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.3,1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.4,string,1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.5,double,1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.6,string,1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.7,string,1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.2,string,1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.4,string'
     resultSet = client.executeQuery(data_name_mib)

     # Now looping over result and fetching data
     while resultSet.next():
                        diskName = resultSet.getString(2)
                        diskSize = resultSet.getString(3)
                        diskType = resultSet.getString(6)

 

How to build the SNMP query statement:
The query statement contains a comma-separated list of elements. First, define the first column of the table. Because the first column size determines the size of the rest of the columns, this is the only column for which the start index and index are set. The end index and start index are both MIB (Management Information Base) numbers. After setting the indexes, set the column type.
Example of definition of the first column:

 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.3,1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.4,string 

The example has start index 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.3 and end index 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.4. Therefore, the table for this column has all values between these MIB numbers. The type of all values in this column is 'string'

For the rest of the columns, only the start index is defined, because the number of retrieves from the MIB database is the same as the number of values retrieved for the first column. For example, If we get X values between the first column start and end index, each of the rest of the columns will retrieve exactly X values starting from the its start index. If a column contains fewer elements than the first column, the result for this column is padded with Nulls. * After setting the indexes, set the column type.
Example of definition of the columns after the first:

 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.5,double 

In this example, all values returned for this column in the table are of type 'double'
