in thread Cut n' paste monkey on my back

University of Californa at Davis SNMP includes command-line utilities, MIB queries by name, and a Tk/Perl MIB browser.   From a scripting standpoint, I understand that SNMP.pm combined with SNMP::MIB::Compiler does most of that as well.   Not clear on this, but if SNMP.pm and UCD-SNMP both installed, they might work together somehow.

Actually, I was going to tack parsing onto existing collection script, and hadn't yet realized could skip the intermediate file.   Learning better ways to do it (like this) is a big part of my Monasterial compulsion.   {grin}   I'm always amazed to find that my long-pondered posts turn out to be asking the *wrong* question, yet I still come away with a revelation.

    There are a variety of SNMP modules available for perl. I use the same combo you do, and it has full access to the ucd-snmp library calls. Given the motivation, you can easily rewrite all the utilities that cam with the SNMP library in perl.

    I have written a script much like what you, ybic. Message me with an email address and I will send you some of the interesting snippets where I gather the same kind of data. Not that my code is anything marvelous, but it sometimes helps seeing what other people have done. Sorry, I am concerned that certain NDAs and copyrights prevent me from slamming the entire thing into the Catacombs.
