127d 3h 46m), large numbers with thousand separators - Result Filtering — regex-capable filter bar on WALK/GETBULK results to search across OIDs, names, types, and values
- One-click Copy — copy any OID, value, or target to clipboard with a single click
- Device Comparison — side-by-side multi-target comparison with delta and percentage differences
- Double-click GET — double-click any MIB tree node to instantly perform a GET operation

- SNMP Debug — live packet inspection with auto-refresh
- Hierarchical Tree navigation with collapsible nodes
- Global Search across name, OID, description, and syntax
- Filter Chips for dynamic filtering
- Favorites — bookmark frequently used OIDs
- Node Details panel with full OID metadata (syntax, access, status, description)
- Custom MIBs — load your own MIB files from a persistent directory
- Drag & Drop Import — drop MIB files or folders anywhere in the app to import them instantly. Supports recursive folder scanning, duplicate detection, and shows a detailed error report if any files fail to load
- Real-time OID Polling with interactive Chart.js graphs
- Multiple View Modes — raw values, delta, rate (per-second), and latency
- Threshold Alerts — configurable min/max with native OS notifications (Windows toast, macOS, Linux)
- Session Management — create, pause, resume, and delete monitoring sessions
- Historical Data — SQLite storage for long-term trending with time-range queries
- Trap Listener — receive SNMPv1/v2c/v3 traps on configurable port
- Trap Sender — send custom traps for testing
- Native OS Notifications — Windows toast / macOS / Linux notifications with MIB-resolved trap names
- Filtering & Export — filter received traps and export to CSV
- CIDR Discovery — scan IP ranges for SNMP-responsive devices
- Ping — cross-platform, no elevated privileges required (pure Go)
- Traceroute — hop-by-hop route tracing
- Full operation history with timestamps and results
- Diff Comparison — side-by-side diff between any two query results
- Saved Queries — bookmark and re-run frequent queries
- Multiple targets with comma or newline separation
- Target Groups for organizing devices
- Per-target Overrides — custom SNMP version, community, port per device
- Connection Testing — verify reachability before operations
- One-click privacy — hide all sensitive data for safe screenshots and demos
- Stable aliases — IPs become
Device-1,Device-2, etc. (consistent within a session) - Comprehensive masking — covers IP addresses, community strings, SNMPv3 credentials, hostnames, device descriptions, trap sources, debug logs
- Quick toggle —
Ctrl+Shift+Aor checkbox in Settings > Privacy - Visual indicator — pulsing
ANONbadge in the tab bar when active - Non-persistent — automatically disabled on restart to prevent accidental data hiding
- Dark / Light Theme with system detection or manual toggle
- Anonymous Mode — hide sensitive data (IPs, credentials) for screenshots (
Ctrl+Shift+A) - Native Desktop Notifications — configurable per feature (traps, monitoring alerts)
- 5 Languages — English, French, German, Spanish, Chinese (auto-detected)
- Resizable Panels — adjustable MIB browser width (persisted)
- Keyboard Shortcuts — see table below
- AES-256-GCM Encryption for locally stored credentials

The Go backend exposes methods to the frontend via Wails bindings. SNMP operations run concurrently using goroutines for multi-target execution. Monitoring data is persisted in an embedded SQLite database with WAL mode. Sensitive credentials are encrypted with AES-256-GCM in the browser's localStorage.
Configuration is managed through the in-app Settings dialog (Ctrl + ,):
- SNMP — default version, community string, port, timeout, retries, SNMPv3 credentials
- Monitoring — data retention period, auto-resume sessions, desktop notifications, alert sounds
- MIBs — manage MIB file directories, load custom MIBs
- UI — theme (dark/light/system), language, auto-GET on node selection
MIB files and the monitoring database are stored in the user config directory:
| OS | Path |
|---|---|
| Windows | %APPDATA%\SnmpLens\ |
| macOS | ~/.config/SnmpLens/ |
| Linux | ~/.config/SnmpLens/ |
A built-in Python SNMP agent simulator is provided in tools/snmp_test_agent.py for testing without real network equipment. It requires no external dependencies beyond pycryptodome (for SNMPv3 AES).
pip install pycryptodome
python tools/snmp_test_agent.py --trap-port 1162 --trap-interval 10- Pure Python — no pysnmp dependency, works on Python 3.10+
- SNMPv1, v2c, and full v3 support (discovery, authentication, encryption)
- 5 simulated interfaces with dynamic traffic counters
- Realistic OIDs: system, ifTable, ifXTable, IP, SNMP stats, hrSystem, hrStorage
- Periodic trap sending (v2c and v3) with linkDown, linkUp, coldStart, customAlert
- Recursive folder import support
