net/net-snmp 5.9.5.2p1 OpenBSD

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a widely used protocol for monitoring health and statistics of many types of equipment (e.g. routers, computers, printers, power systems, environmental monitors, etc). Net-SNMP provides a library, daemons and utilities:

• snmpd responds to SNMP queries. It has built-in support for a wide range of information, and can be extended. Not to be confused with the SNMP daemon in the OpenBSD base OS which is recommended in most cases. Manuals are netsnmp-snmpd(8) and netsnmp-snmpd.conf(5) to avoid conflict.

• snmptrapd receives notifications from devices (TRAP and INFORM). It can log, run external handlers, or forward over the network.

• tools for standard queries (snmpget*, snmpwalk, snmpbulk*), writes (snmpset), and sending notifications (snmpinform, snmptrap).

• tools with special output types; snmpdelta displays differences over time, snmptable collates information from SNMP tables (e.g. ifTable), and there are single-purpose tools like snmpstatus, snmpdf, snmpps, snmptop, snmpnetstat. checkbandwidth provides a Nagios-compatible checker (and requires p5-JSON and p5-Mail-Sender to be installed).

• snmptranslate converts between numerical and textual forms of MIB OIDs, and displays MIB content and structure.

Flavor: readonly - removes all SET support from the code.
