snmp_set_valueretrieval

(PHP 4 >= 4.3.3, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

snmp_set_valueretrieval Specify the method how the SNMP values will be returned

Description

snmp_set_valueretrieval(int $method): true

Parameters

method
types
SNMP_VALUE_LIBRARY The return values will be as returned by the Net-SNMP library.
SNMP_VALUE_PLAIN The return values will be the plain value without the SNMP type information.
SNMP_VALUE_OBJECT The return values will be objects with the properties value and type, where the latter is one of the SNMP_OCTET_STR, SNMP_COUNTER etc. constants. The way value is returned is based on which one of constants SNMP_VALUE_LIBRARY, SNMP_VALUE_PLAIN is set.

Return Values

Always returns true.

Changelog

Version Description
8.2.0 The return type is true now; previously, it was bool.

Examples

Example #1 Using snmp_set_valueretrieval()

<?php
snmp_set_valueretrieval
(SNMP_VALUE_LIBRARY);
$ret = snmpget('localhost', 'public', 'IF-MIB::ifName.1');
// $ret = "STRING: lo"

snmp_set_valueretrieval(SNMP_VALUE_PLAIN);
$ret = snmpget('localhost', 'public', 'IF-MIB::ifName.1');
// $ret = "lo";

snmp_set_valueretrieval(SNMP_VALUE_OBJECT);
$ret = snmpget('localhost', 'public', 'IF-MIB::ifName.1');
// stdClass Object
// (
// [type] => 4 <-- SNMP_OCTET_STR, see constants
// [value] => lo
// )

snmp_set_valueretrieval(SNMP_VALUE_OBJECT | SNMP_VALUE_PLAIN);
$ret = snmpget('localhost', 'public', 'IF-MIB::ifName.1');
// stdClass Object
// (
// [type] => 4 <-- SNMP_OCTET_STR, see constants
// [value] => lo
// )

snmp_set_valueretrieval(SNMP_VALUE_OBJECT | SNMP_VALUE_LIBRARY);
$ret = snmpget('localhost', 'public', 'IF-MIB::ifName.1');
// stdClass Object
// (
// [type] => 4 <-- SNMP_OCTET_STR, see constants
// [value] => STRING: lo
// )

?>

Sample is swow Interface status.

Possible values for this request from MIB:
Enum(integer): up (1), down (2), testing (3)

Results:

snmp_get_valueretrieval = SNMP_VALUE_LIBRARY,
retrieved value up(1)
SNMP_VALUE_LIBRARY 0, retrieved value up(1)
SNMP_VALUE_PLAIN 1, retrieved value 1

SNMP_VALUE_LIBRARY 0, retrieved value up
SNMP_VALUE_PLAIN 1, retrieved value 1

The default value (if this function is not called) is "SNMP_VALUE_LIBRARY", which seems to be SNMP's built-in way of printing things.

From "snmp.c":
<code>
static PHP_GINIT_FUNCTION(snmp)
{
snmp_globals->valueretrieval = SNMP_VALUE_LIBRARY;
}
</code>

A mild description of these is:
SNMP_VALUE_LIBRARY: This is a string similar to:
"INTEGER: 42"

SNMP_VALUE_PLAIN: This is a string similar to:
"42"

SNMP_VALUE_OBJECT: This is a PHP object like:
object(
"type" => SNMP_INTEGER,
"value" => 42,
)
Here, "type" is one of the SNMP_* types that are listed under the "Predefined Constants" page. In addition, types 128, 129, and 130 are error conditions.

It appears that the possible method constants for this function are:

SNMP_VALUE_LIBRARY
SNMP_VALUE_PLAIN
SNMP_VALUE_OBJECT

If you are harvesting data you probably want SNMP_VALUE_PLAIN.
