SNMP Scripting

[maxstoner]

Hi,

I have some questions regarding SNMP queries out of a script.

Per example when cacti queries for a router's interfaces. What is being sent to a script that should find all interfaces at the router?

Is it correct, that cacti sends something like
host_name "query"
Are there any further commands values sent?

When polling that interfaces (all 5 minutes) what is then being sent out?
host_name "get" OID ???

Would be really great if someone can help!!

Please see Script Query XML Syntax. Does this help you?

hi,

does that mean, that i can choose what is passed to my script?

per examle:
if you need arg_index say "index" and so on?!

<arg_index>index</arg_index>
<arg_query>query</arg_query>
<arg_get>get</arg_get>

I suppose so. But personally, I always used exactly that documented way. Of course, your script must respond to those input parameters

Just one last question.
Of course in my scripts it is necessary to call the parameter in the correct order.
Is there any description what that order will be out of cacti?

Thanks Markus
