SNMP

Another straight forward way could be that you use an OPC DA server for SNMP monitoring (there are many of those around).

Then you could easily connect to it using the plugin for OPC DA Client I made. You find it here:
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3433&p=19687&hilit= ... ent#p19687

The advantage would be that the whole SNMP stuff will be provided and maintained by the SNMP OPC server provider...

Most of the SNMP OPC Servers can run in evaluation mode so that you at least can try it out for free. My OPC Client plugin is of course completely free.

Maybe something like this will help? Change the appropriate commands inside so that they work for you.

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<EventGhost Version="1610">
    <Macro Name="SNMPGET" Expanded="True">
        <Action>
            System.Execute(u'cmd.exe', u'/c "for /f "usebackq delims=" %s in (`snmpget -v 1 -c public 192.168.0.251 .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.4.4.2.1.3.5`) do c:\\programs\\eventghost\\eventghost.exe -e SNMPGET %s"', 3, False, 2, u'q:\\', False)
        </Action>
    </Macro>
</EventGhost>

It's using the fact that the cmd.exe has an internal FOR command you can use to route the output from the first command as a parameter to a second one.. the FOR command processes each line of output separately so you will get one event per line of output which might be a problem, or not..

In EG the event's payload data is available in the eg.event.payload variable.


I think it might be worth it to start looking into that pysnmp package you mentioned, there is no reason why we couldn't have an SNMP plugin for EG, if only somebody has the time and inspiration to make one.

Time is also money and someone has to spend time to make it...I did not expect that you only was looking for free things

if just a couple of devices at home, you could also consider the ping plugin (simple live check)
