NT_SNMP_RAW_GET (424)

Performs an SNMP GET request without requiring an SNMP connection to be defined in the protocol.

var settings = new object[9];    // Minimum length: 2
var versionSpecificSettings = new object[2];

versionSpecificSettings[0] = 2; // SNMPv2
versionSpecificSettings[1] = "myGetCommunityString";    // Get community string

settings[0] = versionSpecificSettings;    // Version specific settings
settings[1] = "127.0.0.1";         // Destination IP address
settings[2] = 1611;              // Destination port (String or Int32, will not overwrite the port specified with the IP address)
settings[3] = 1490;              // Timeout (ms) (Int32)
settings[4] = 2;                 // Retries (Int32)
settings[5] = false;             // Multiple Get (Boolean)
settings[6] = "";                // Instance (String)
settings[7] = 2;                 // Dynamic poll type: SingleGets (Int32)
settings[8] = false;             // Split errors from values (Boolean)

string[] oidInfo = new string[1];       // String array of OIDs.

oidInfo[0] = "1.3.6.1.2.1.1.8.1.6.1";

object[] result = (object[])protocol.NotifyDataMiner(424 /*NT_SNMP_RAW_GET*/, settings, oidInfo);

if (result != null && result.Length >= 1)
{
   // Request succeeded, process result.
    int value = Convert.ToInt32(result[0]);
   // ...
}
else
{
   // Request failed.
}

Parameters

  • settings (object[]): Request info. At least the first two entries must be present.

    • settings[0] (object[]): (Required.) Version-specific information.

      This array (referred to as versionSpecificSettings[] below) contains the SNMP version and information that only applies for specific SNMP versions.

      versionSpecificSettings[0]: (int) SNMP version. Possible values:

      • 1: SNMPv1
      • 2: SNMPv2
      • 3: SNMPv3

      versionSpecificSettings[1]:

      • SNMPv1 and SNMPv2: (string) Get community string. Default: "public"

      • SNMPv3: (object[]): Authentication and encryption settings.

        • [0]: (string) Username. Default: empty string ("").

        • [1] (int): Security level. Possible values:

          • 1: No authentication, no encryption
          • 2: Authentication, no encryption
          • 3: Authentication, Encryption

          Default: 1 (No authentication, no encryption)

        • [2] (int): Authentication algorithm. Possible values:

          • 1: None
          • 2: HMAC-MD5
          • 3: HMAC-SHA

          Default: 1 (None)

        • [3] (string): Authentication password. Default: empty string ("").

        • [4] (int): Encryption algorithm. Possible values:

          • 1: None
          • 2: DES
          • 3: N/A, deprecated
          • 4: AES128

          Default: 1 (None)

        • [5] (string): Encryption passphrase. Default: empty string ("")

          Note

          Default is used when the object in the array is null or of the wrong type.

      • settings[1] (string): (Required.) Specifies the destination address, which can optionally include the port.

      • settings[2] (string or int): (Optional.) Specifies the destination port. Default: 161.

        Note

        In case a port is specified in requestSettings[1], that port will be used instead of the one specified here.

      • settings[3] (int): (Optional.) Specifies the timeout in ms. Default: 1500 ms.

        Note

        The resolution of the timeout is 10 ms.

      • settings[4] (int): (Optional.) Specifies the number of retries. Default: 3.

      • settings[5] (bool): (Optional.) Specifies whether multiple variable bindings is used.

        Default: false.

      • settings[6] (string): (Optional.) Instance. Default: Empty string ("").

      • settings[7] (int): (Optional.) Dynamic Poll Type. Possible values:

        • 0: Fallback
        • 1: MultipleGet
        • 2: SingleGets

        Default: 2 (SingleGets)

      • settings[8] (bool): (Optional.) Split errors from values. Default: false.

      • settings[9] (string): Optional. GUID of entry in credentials library. Supported from DataMiner 10.0.11 (RN 27275) onwards.

        If you pass a GUID, you do not need to pass any credentials.

        If you do not pass a GUID or you pass an empty string instead of a GUID, you must pass credentials in plain text. When you pass neither a GUID nor plain-text credentials, the request will be considered invalid.

        Note
        • Library credentials take precedence over plain-text credentials.
        • If you pass an invalid GUID (either a non-existing GUID or a GUID of an incorrect type), the request will be considered invalid. There will be no fallback to plain-text credentials.
      Note

      Values not provisioned or left null will be initialized with their default value.

  • oidInfo (string[]): Array containing the OIDs that need to be retrieved.

Return Value

  • (object[]): Array holding the values of the requested OIDs. The size of the object array equals the number of items requested.

Remarks

  • Feature introduced in DataMiner 9.5.12 (RN 18369).
  • From DataMiner 9.6.3 (RN 20727) onwards, if the “multiple get” Boolean (settings[5]) is false, separate SNMP messages will be used to poll each OID, and if the “multiple get” Boolean (settings[5]) is true, a single SNMP message will be used to poll the OIDs.
