SYNOPSIS
use Mon::SNMP;
$trap = new Mon::SNMP;
$trap->buffer($snmptrap);
%traphash = $trap->decode;
$error = $trap->error;
DESCRIPTION
Mon::SNMP provides methods to decode SNMP trap PDUs. It is based on Graham Barr's Convert::BER module, and its purpose is to provide SNMP trap handling to ``mon''.It is not complete, so don't bother trying to use it unless you are ready to debug and write some code.
METHODS
- new
- creates a new Mon::SNMP object.
- buffer ( buffer )
- Assigns a raw SNMP trap message to the object.
- decode
-
Decodes a SNMP trap message, and returns a hash of the variable
assignments for the SNMP header and trap protocol data unit of the
associated message. The hash consists of the following members:
version => SNMP version (1) community => community string ent_OID => enterprise OID of originating agent agentaddr => IP address of originating agent generic_trap => /COLDSTART|WARMSTART|LINKDOWN|LINKUP|AUTHFAIL|EGPNEIGHBORLOSS|ENTERPRISESPECIFIC/ specific_trap => specific trap type (integer) timeticks => timeticks (integer) varbindlist => { oid1 => value, oid2 => value, ... }
ERRORS
All methods return a hash with no elements upon errors which they detect, and the detail of the error is available from theEXAMPLES
use Mon::SNMP; $trap = new Mon::SNMP; $trap->buffer($snmptrap); %traphash = $trap->decode; foreach $oid (keys $traphash{"varbindlist"}) { $val = $traphash{"varbindlist"}{$oid}; print "oid($oid) = val($val)\n"; }
ENVIRONMENT
None.NOTES
CAVEATS
Mon::SNMP depends upon Convert::BER to do the real work.
