Script Example: Read SNMP Value From Node

This Wiki is deprecated and we are are currrently migrating remaining pages into product documentation (Admin Guide, NXSL Guide)

WARNING: This page is no longer updated. Please visit NetXMS Script examples for current version of the documentation.

This script can be put into Script Library and run from server's debug console. It accepts node object name or ID as parameter and prints value of SNMP sysDescription to console.

if ($1 == null)
{
   println "Please specify node name as parameter";
   return 3;
}

transport = CreateSNMPTransport(FindObject($1));    // Create SNMP transport for node
if (transport == null)
{
    println "Failed to create SNMP transport, exit";
    return 1;
}

value = SNMPGetValue(transport, ".1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0");
if (value == null)
{
    println "Failed to issue SNMP GET request";
    return 2;
}
else
{
    println "System description: " . value;
    return 0;
}
