Advanced Command Generator¶

Concurrent queries¶

Send multiple SNMP GET requests at once using the following options:

with SNMPv2c, community ‘public’
over IPv4/UDP
to multiple Agents at demo.pysnmp.com
for instance of SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 MIB object
based on asyncio I/O framework

Functionally similar to:

$ snmpget -v2c -c public demo.pysnmp.com:161 SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0
$ snmpget -v2c -c public demo.pysnmp.com:161 SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0
$ snmpget -v2c -c public demo.pysnmp.com:161 SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0

import asyncio
from pysnmp.hlapi.v1arch.asyncio import *


async def getone(snmpDispatcher, hostname):
    iterator = await get_cmd(
        snmpDispatcher,
        CommunityData("public"),
        await UdpTransportTarget.create(hostname),
        ObjectType(ObjectIdentity("SNMPv2-MIB", "sysDescr", 0)),
    )

    errorIndication, errorStatus, errorIndex, varBinds = iterator

    if errorIndication:
        print(errorIndication)

    elif errorStatus:
        print(
            "{} at {}".format(
                errorStatus.prettyPrint(),
                errorIndex and varBinds[int(errorIndex) - 1][0] or "?",
            )
        )
    else:
        for varBind in varBinds:
            print(" = ".join([x.prettyPrint() for x in varBind]))


async def main():
    with SnmpDispatcher() as snmpDispatcher:
        await asyncio.gather(
            getone(snmpDispatcher, ("demo.pysnmp.com", 161)),

            getone(snmpDispatcher, ("demo.pysnmp.com", 161)),
        )
