[noctool-devel] Re: NOCtool and SNMP

[Chun Tian (binghe)]

Hi, Ingvar

Now you can ASDF-install my SNMP package. I've fixed it under SBCL/ 
CMUCL/Clozure CL today

Call this:

* (asdf-install:install :snmp)

should work, I test it and seems good. But you should use USOCKET 0.4  
branch or trunk, current release version (0.3.x) doesn't have DATADRAM  
class and WAIT-FOR-INPUT support, cannot fit SNMP package.

No document yet, but I can give you two example usage:

* (snmp:snmp-walk "localhost" '(#(1 3 6 1 2 1 1)))
(((#<SNMP:OBJECT-ID 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0>
    "Linux debian-amd64 2.6.24-1-amd64 #1 SMP Sat May 10 09:28:10 UTC  
2008 x86_64")
   (#<SNMP:OBJECT-ID 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.2.0>
    #<SNMP:OBJECT-ID 1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.3.2.10>)
   (#<SNMP:OBJECT-ID 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0>
    #<SNMP:TIMETICKS (1712822) 4:45:28.22>)
   (#<SNMP:OBJECT-ID 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.4.0>
    "Root <root at localhost> (configure /etc/snmp/snmpd.local.conf)")
   (#<SNMP:OBJECT-ID 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5.0> "debian-amd64")
   (#<SNMP:OBJECT-ID 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.6.0>
    "Unknown (configure /etc/snmp/snmpd.local.conf)")
...

* (snmp:with-open-session (s "localhost" :version snmp:+snmp-version-2c+
                                          :community "public")
     (snmp:snmp-get s '(#(1 3 6 1 2 1 1 1 0) #(1 3 6 1 2 1 1 5 0))))
("Linux debian-amd64 2.6.24-1-amd64 #1 SMP Sat May 10 09:28:10 UTC  
2008 x86_64"
  "debian-amd64")

In old versions of SNMP package, user can use "sysDescr.0" instead of  
#(1 3 6 1 2 1 1 1 0). But this facility need a LALR parser. It was  
ZEBU but very hard to use and even install correctly. Now I'm working  
on write a ASN.1 compiler to get alive without any LALR parser. Just  
give me more days I can work it out.

I'll watching you guys on how to integrate SNMP monitor ability into  
your NOCtool:)

Any bug reports and idea are welcome!
