""" Custom request timeout ++++++++++++++++++++++ Send SNMP GET request using the following options: * with SNMPv2c, community 'public' * over IPv4/UDP * to an Agent at demo.snmplabs.com:161 * for an OID in string form * use custom timeout and request retries values Transport timing settings (maximum number of request retries and individual request timeout in seconds) can be set on a per-target basis as explained by the code that follows. Keep in mind that while timeout value can be specified in fractions of a second, default pysnmp timer resolution is quite low (about 0.5 sec) so there's no much point in using timeouts which is not a multiple of 0.5 Internal timer can be programmatically adjusted to finer resolution if needed. If retries value is set to 0, pysnmp will issue a single request. Even if no response arrives, there will be no retry. Likewise, retries=1 means one initial request plus one retry. Functionally similar to: | $ snmpget -v1 -c public demo.snmplabs.com 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0 """# from pysnmp.entity.rfc3413.oneliner.cmdgen import * errorIndication, errorStatus, errorIndex, varBinds = next( getCmd(SnmpEngine(), CommunityData('public'), UdpTransportTarget( ('demo.snmplabs.com', 161), timeout=1.5, retries=0 ), ContextData(), ObjectType(ObjectIdentity('1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0'))) ) if errorIndication: print(errorIndication) elif errorStatus: print('%s at %s' % ( errorStatus.prettyPrint(), errorIndex and varBinds[int(errorIndex)-1][0] or '?' ) ) else: for varBind in varBinds: print(' = '.join([ x.prettyPrint() for x in varBind ]))
