Snmpmon.exe: SNMP Monitor

SNMP Monitor is a tool that can monitor any SNMP MIB variables across any number of SNMP nodes. It can then optionally log query results to any ODBC data source (such as SQL Server), automatically creating any necessary tables. Logging can be enabled for all queries or limited to particular thresholds, and thresholds can be either edge or level triggered.

Rudimentary conditionals are also possible. SNMP Monitor can execute arbitrary command lines based on whether or not the node responded to the query, whether or not the node supported the requested variable, and whether the value was greater than, less than, or equal to a specified constant.

SNMP Monitor is a stand-alone executable that accepts a configuration file as input.

SNMP Monitor Caveats

• In the current implementation, the timeouts used for SNMP queries are not configurable. The defaults are 750 millisecond timeout and two retries.
• SNMP Monitor assumes a community string of "public" for all SNMP queries. This is not currently configurable.
• If polling intervals are too small, SNMP Monitor can get behind. Everything will still get polled and evaluated correctly, but accurate timing cannot be assumed.
