Configuration

List of agents

The list of agents should be specified in a configuration file, that is either provided by a command line option or as a startup parameter by a method call.

The configuration contains a list of agent defintions in YAML. It might look like the following example:

- name: "example1"
  device: "src/test/resources/configuration/cisco.yaml"
  walk: "src/test/resources/configuration/example.txt"
  ip: "127.0.0.1"
  port: 10000

These are the available properties

Name	Default	Description
name	address:port	The name of the agent
device	-	The path to the device configuration or empty if not specified
walk	-	The path to the SNMP walk dump
ip	-	The IP the agent should bind to
port	-	The port the agent should run on
community	public	The SNMPv2c community

How to get walk dumps

Walk dumps can be created with the help of the "snmpwalk" command:

snmpwalk -On -v2c -cPUBLIC 172.20.1.1 > my-dump

Device configuration

A device has a name and a list of variable modifiers and might look like the following example:

name: "My Example device"
modifiers:
  - oid: ".1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.56"
    class: "com.oneandone.snmpman.configuration.modifier.Integer32Modifier"
    properties:
       minimum: 0
       maximum: 100
       minimumStep: 0
       maximumStep: 100`
