NAME

perfSONAR_PS::Services::MP::Agent::SNMP - A module that will query a SNMP device and return it's output.

DESCRIPTION

Inherited perfSONAR_PS::MP::Agent::Base class that allows a command to be executed. Specific tools should inherit from this class and override parse() in order to be able to format the command line output in a well understood data structure.

SYNOPSIS

# command line to run, variables are indicated with the '%...%' notation
my $command = '/bin/ping -c %count% %destination%';

# options to use, the above keys defined in $command will be 
# substituted with the following values
my %options = (
    'count' => 10,
    'destination' => 'localhost',
);

# create and setup a new Agent  
my $agent = perfSONAR_PS::Services::MP::Agent::CommandLine( $command, $options );
$agent->init();

# collect the results (i.e. run the command)
if( $mp->collectMeasurements() == 0 )
{
	
	# get the raw datastructure for the measurement
	print "Results:\n" . $self->results() . "\n";

}
# opps! something went wrong! :(
else {
  
  print STDERR "Command: '" . $self->commandString() . "' failed with result '" . $self->results() . "': " . $agent->error() . "\n"; 
  
}

new( $command, $options, $namespace)

Creates a new agent class

$host = device to query
$port = udp port number to query on $host
$ver = snmp version number (1,2c,3)
$comm = community string to use to query device
$vars = hash of OIDs to query

init( )

Setup the snmp agent

collectMeasurement( @var )

collect the snmp oids defined. Optional list of variables to collect @var (otherwise will use whatever was defined in the constructor or overloaded with $self->variables())

host( $string )

accessor/mutator function for the host to query

port( $string )

accessor/mutator function for the udp port to query

version( $string )

accessor/mutator function for the snmp version to use

version( $string )

accessor/mutator function for the snmp community string

variables( $string )

accessor/mutator function for the hash of snmp oids to collect

addVariable( $string )

Add the snmp oid to the list of variable to collect

removeVariables( )

Clears the list of snmp oids to collect

removeVariables( $string )

removes a single snmp oid variable from teh list to query

getVariableCount( )

determines the number of snmp oid variables to poll

collectVariables( )

Actually polls the host on port with community string and version the list of variables.

Input: @vars = list of oids to collect, if not supplied, will use $self->variables().

Returns:

-1 = something went wrong (use $self->error() )
 0 = everything went okay
 

setSession

creates and sets a Net::SNMP session for use in collection of oids

setSession

closes the Net::SNMP session

Returns

-1 = could not close the session;
 0 = closed session okay
