Hi Michal,
The latest SNMP4J 2.4.2 snapshot version contains an implementation that
provides
the statistics you were interested in by using the CounterSupport mechanism.
Please try it out. Comments/suggestions are welcome :-)
Best regards,
Frank

Hi Michal,
This is a very good idea. I missed it yet, because I only thought about the
standard SNMP
message counters, which do not include retries and response times.
I will add that for the next release (soon to come because of two other bug
reports).
Best regards,
Frank

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to gather detailed statistics about SNMP
communication (number of retries and exact times).
SNMP4j supports re-sending request if response didn't come within timeout
limit which is very useful feature but it can mask some issues existing in
the network. For example when there is a lot of retries because we are
loosing some pockets, it will not be obviously visible. To find out how
many retries was required you need to measure time between send request and
getting response then depending on your TimeOutModel you need make some
calculations.
This approach is not very useful because:
- calculations may not be accurate because we measure time of whole
message handling not sending single PDU
- you will need to modify all places in your code where you calling SNMP4j
send method. It could be many of them.
Much better would be have possibility to get such info from Snmp class. For
example you could add request listener to the Snmp, and in
PendingRequest#responseReceived() method notify it about received
response, something like this:
public void responseReceived() {
requestListener.onResponseReceived(
target.getAddress(), //ip address
pdu.getType(), //get get-next etc
pdu.size(), //how many oids
(System.nanoTime() - startedInNano) /
SnmpConstants.MILLISECOND_TO_NANOSECOND , //how many ms was from creation
of thiss PendingRequest till getting response
target.getRetries() - retryCount);//how many retries
this.responseReceived = true;
...
public interface RequestListener{
void onResponseReceived(Address address,int type, int size, long
durationInMs, int retries);
}
Passing this request listener would be optional. It would be useful to have
also info about request without response and cancelled.
Do you think it is good approach ?
Maybe you have other ideas how to gather such data?
Best Regards
Michal
