Dependencies

• numpy
• pandas
• netsnmp (Python bindings)

Installing SNMP

on MacOS

• Install SNMP package via macports

• Compile the SNMP python bindings (Important note: This has to be redone when python environments are switched)

• cd /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/net-snmp/net-snmp-5.7.2/python/
• python setup.py build
• python setup.py test (requires a locally running agent w/ config provided)
• python setup.py install# Python SNMP data acquisition system for commercial microwave links

on Debian

• As root, install the relevant snmp packages

• apt-get install snmp
• apt-get install libsnmp-python

• if a non standard python path (e.g. because of a virtual environment) is used, copy over the files from SYSTEM-PYTHON-PATH/dist-packages
• to get the MIBS follow instructions from https://wiki.debian.org/SNMP

Usage

• Adjust the configuration for logging, file names, directories, file transfer, etc. in config.py.
• Put the list of IP addresse and OIDs in the file mw_link_OID_listing.py, which currently is configured to only acquire the uptime of localhost as an example that can be run on your local machine without access to a remote machine. An example of a listing for two microwave links is given in the file mw_link_OID_listing_example.py.
• Start the pySNMPdaq daemon with

pySNMPdaqd start

• You can stop the daemon using hte command

pySNMPdaqd stop
