FFI wrapper around libsmi. Useful for translating SNMP oids and retreiving other MIB information. You should have libsmi installed, and a directory with any MIB files you want to use.
# Set path to MIBs, initialize libsmi, and load the standard RFC1213 MIB
Smi::Config.set_path('/usr/local/share/mibs')
Smi::Config.init(nil) # You MUST call this
Smi::Config.load_module("RFC1213-MIB")
# get the oid for sysDescr
Smi.translate("sysDescr") => ".1.3.6.1.2.1.2.1.1"
# get a MIB node
node = Smi::Node.get_node("ifIndex")
puts node.name # "ifIndex"
puts node.oid # "1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.1"
puts node.description # "Some verbose description"
# get children of node
node.children.each |child|
puts "#{child.name} - #{child.oid}"
end
# get a MIB module
m = Smi::Module.get_module("RFC1213-MIB")
node = m.get_nodes
You may have to add smilib to LD_LIBRARY_PATH. For example
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/local/lib
-
Fork the project.
-
Make your feature addition or bug fix.
-
Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.
-
Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
-
Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
