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 getCmd(
        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():
    snmpDispatcher = SnmpDispatcher()
    await asyncio.gather(
        getone(snmpDispatcher, ("demo.pysnmp.com", 161)),
        getone(snmpDispatcher, ("demo.pysnmp.com", 161)),
        getone(snmpDispatcher, ("demo.pysnmp.com", 161)),
