snmpget

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

snmpget — Va a buscar un objeto SNMP

Descripción

string snmpget ( string $hostname , string $community , string $object_id [, int $timeout [, int $retries ]] )

Devuelve el valor de un objeto SNMP en caso de exito y FALSE en caso de error.

La función snmpget() es usada para leer el valor de un objeto SNMP especificado por el object_id . El agente SNMP es especificado por el hostname y la comunidad lectora es especificada por el parametro community .

$syscontact = snmpget("127.0.0.1", "public", "system.SysContact.0")

Some SNMP agents return mac addresses as hex encoded ascii.



e.g. '30:30:3a:31:37:3a:66:32:3a:39:62:3a:34:36:3a:30:65'



Each octet represents 4 bits of the mac address.

Some vendors may also encode the separators into the string.



Heres a function to convert these strings back into plain hex.



<?php

$hexStr = '30:30:3a:31:37:3a:66:32:3a:39:62:3a:34:36:3a:30:65';



echo(str_replace(':','',hexStr2Ascii($hexStr)));



function hexStr2Ascii($hexStr,$separator = ':'){

    $hexStrArr = explode($separator,$hexStr);

    $asciiOut = null;

    foreach($hexStrArr as $octet){

        $asciiOut .= chr(hexdec($octet));

    }

    return $asciiOut;

}

?>



Outputs: '0017f29b460e'

According the SNMPv2-MIB DEFINITIONS the right syntax should be "system.sysContact.0" and NOT "system.SysContact.0" as used in the above example 2251. 



SNMPv2-MIB DEFINITIONS 

... 

sysContact OBJECT-TYPE 

SYNTAX DisplayString (SIZE (0..255)) 

MAX-ACCESS read-write

DESCRIPTION 

"The textual identification of the contact person for this 

managed node, together with information on how to contact 

this person. If no contact information is known, the 

value 

is the zero-length string."

When I try to get a 64 bit counter variable (e.g. ifHCInOctets) using snmpget function, following error message was appeared.



Error in packet: (noSuchName) There is no such variable name in this MIB



The solution for this is to use snmp2_get(); function. The prameters are same as snmpget();

The online documentation says that the function returns "FALSE" on error but, actually, it returns NULL on error.

The timeout is in micro seconds. Thus 1.000.000 means 1 Second.

I have no idea what the timeout value is, but 1 second is really really 1 000 000 000 nano seconds (cf. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SI_prefix).

The default value of Timeout is 1000000  nanoseconde (1 sec) and the retrie is 5 thsi value is set by Net-SNMP library.



#!/usr/local/bin/php

<?php

 $time_start = microtime(true);

 $reponse = snmpget('10.5.1.1', 'public', "1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0",1000000,5);

 $time_end = microtime(true);

 $time = $time_end - $time_start;



 echo "Delay in $time secondes\n";

?>

Unfortunately, It appears that you can not put multiple objects into the snmpget function, ie: sysUpTime.0 ifInOctets.1 ifOutOctets.1.  For what it's worth, the time argument is in nano-seconds as previously mentioned.  There is a lot of conflicting information out there about this.

about timeouts it turns out to be in nanoseconds e.g. for 1 second use value of 1 000 000

It seems that for each snmpget() its own socket() will be opened. This is not closed after snmpget() finishes. Neither existing sockets are reused by subsequent snmpget() calls.



When querying a few switches with lots of ports the maximum file descriptor count of Apache is exhausted. Thus no more snmpget() are possible. Additionaly no more files can be read by this particular Apache process. Neither the PHP file, any include files nor any other files (like a .css file, ...).



This probably explains the observation of tkjode at phalnet dot com. Different to his case is that I'm using Linux.

Little tidbit for snmpget function



<?php

//snmpget system stats

$host = 'localhost';

$community = 'public';



//get system name

$sysname = snmpget($host, $community, "system.sysName.0");



//get system uptime

$sysup = snmpget($host, $community, "system.sysUpTime.0");

$sysupre = eregi_replace("([0-9]{3})","",$sysup);

$sysupre2 = eregi_replace("Timeticks:","",$sysupre);

$sysupre3 = eregi_replace("[()]","",$sysupre2);



//get tcp connections

$tcpcon = snmpget($host, $community,"tcp.tcpCurrEstab.0");

$tcpconre = eregi_replace("Gauge32:","",$tcpcon);



echo '

System Name: '.$sysname.'<br>

System Uptime: '.$sysupre3.'<br>

Current Tcp Connections: '.$tcpconre.'<br>';

pooling a cisco.



$ip = '1.1.1.1';

$community ='publico';

$a = snmpget($ip,$community, "IF-MIB::ifLastChange.1")

$b = snmpget($ip,$community, "IF-MIB::ifAlias.1");

print("a = ".$a."\n"."b = ".$b."\n");



a = Timeticks: (929969969) 107 days, 15:14:59.69

b = Timeticks: (929969969) 107 days, 15:14:59.69

It has been observed on NT/2000 systems that flooding devices with SNMP requests will cause NT's SNMP service to stop working.



For example, I polled 183 switches on our network just fine.  I then attempted to simulate heavy traffic to that page by refreshing and breaking connections (as any real world system would have to go through).  SNMP stopped working throughout the entire machine, including non-PHP/Webserver processes.

It looks like you can use a non-standard port for SNMP


with something like this:





$foo = snmpwalk('foo.bar.com:1161', 'foofoo', '.1.3.6');





This is on PHP 3.16; I haven't managed to get PHP 4.02 to compile successfully on Solaris 2.6 yet.
