SNMP passthrough for Icecast2

This is a simple script to pass basic Icecast information via SNMP. The script will expose the number of listeners and the number of sources.

Requirements

• Icecast 2 server
• Python 3 with Requests library

Installation

• Set up the snmpd daemon
• Install Python3 if not already installed. Ensure the requests library is installed (usually by default)
• Copy the icecast2-snmp.py and bash example scripts to a folder, for example /usr/local/bin/. Edit the sh scripts, ensure they point to the correct folder that icecast2-snmp.py is located!
• Edit the snmpd passthrough configuration, look at snmpd.conf.example as an example.

Usage

Set up the SNMP passthrough scripts as appropriate. icecast2-snmp.py can report the following information:

• -l --total-listeners reports the number of total listeners connected to the server
• -s -total-sources reports the number of sources connected to the server
• -c <stream-name> --check-stream=<stream-name> reports the number of listeners on a stream, -1 if stream doesn't exist

Testing

Once the sensor is working correctly natively, and the setup of the snmpd is completed, you can run a SNMP client to check values are coming through. Check all SNMP values
