Hello,
I'm working on a tool to generate configuration files for an internal
application. This application uses OIDs to do its thing. However, humans aren't
particularly good at reading pure OIDs, so I want to present the person running
the tool with the MIB string (if found/known) while using the OID internally
for what needs to be done.
I'm writing this in Python using the official Net-SNMP Python bindings. So far,
I have not found a way to return *both* the MIB and the OID when doing a query.
My current pseudo-code looks like:
-----
import netsnmp
from os import popen
session = netsnmp.Session(Host, Version, Community)
session.UseLongNames = 1
session.UseNumeric = 1
session.UseEnums = 1
session.UseSprintValue = 1
vars = netsnmp.VarList(netsnmp.Varbind('system'))
foo = session.walk(vars)
for var in vars:
mn = popen("/usr/bin/snmptranslate -M %s -Oq '%s'" % (mibdirs, var.tag))
mib = mn.readline().strip()
mn.close()
-----
This strikes me as extraordinarily inefficient and wasteful. It's also
incredibly slow and kinda stupid. :-)
There must be a better way to get *both* the MIB and the OID returned from an
SNMP walk. Am I missing something simple?
Thanks!
