SNMP Library for Python
-----------------------
[](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pysnmp-lextudio)
[](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pysnmp-lextudio/)
[](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pysnmp-lextudio/)
[](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lextudio/pysnmp/master/LICENSE.rst)
This is a pure-Python, open source and free implementation of v1/v2c/v3
SNMP engine distributed under 2-clause [BSD license](https://www.pysnmp.com/pysnmp/license.html).
The PySNMP project was initially sponsored by a [PSF](http://www.python.org/psf/) grant.
Thank you!
This version is a fork of Ilya Etingof's project [etingof/pysnmp](https://github.com/etingof/pysnmp). Ilya sadly passed away on 10-Aug-2022. Announcement [here](https://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2022-August/030062.html). His work is still of great use to the Python community and he will be missed.
Features
--------
* Complete SNMPv1/v2c and SNMPv3 support
* SMI framework for resolving MIB information and implementing SMI
Managed Objects
* Complete SNMP entity implementation
* USM Extended Security Options support (3DES, 192/256-bit AES encryption)
* Extensible network transports framework (UDP/IPv4, UDP/IPv6)
* Asynchronous socket-based IO API support
* [Asyncio](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio.html) integration
* [PySMI](https://www.pysnmp.com/pysmi/) integration for dynamic MIB compilation
* Built-in instrumentation exposing protocol engine operations
* Python eggs and py2exe friendly
* 100% Python, works with Python 3.7+
* MT-safe (if SnmpEngine is thread-local)
Features, specific to SNMPv3 model include:
* USM authentication (MD5/SHA-1/SHA-2) and privacy (DES/AES) protocols (RFC3414, RFC7860)
* View-based access control to use with any SNMP model (RFC3415)
* Built-in SNMP proxy PDU converter for building multi-lingual
SNMP entities (RFC2576)
* Remote SNMP engine configuration
* Optional SNMP engine discovery
* Shipped with standard SNMP applications (RC3413)
Download & Install
------------------
The PySNMP software is freely available for download from [PyPI](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pysnmp-lextudio)
and [GitHub](https://github.com/lextudio/pysnmp.git).
Just run:
```bash
$ pip install pysnmp-lextudio
```
To download and install PySNMP along with its dependencies:
<!-- Need to find an alternate location for the links to pysnmp.com -->
* [PyASN1](https://pyasn1.readthedocs.io)
* [PyCryptodomex](https://pycryptodome.readthedocs.io) (required only if SNMPv3 encryption is in use)
* [PySMI](https://www.pysnmp.com/pysmi/) (required for MIB services only)
Besides the library, command-line [SNMP utilities](https://github.com/lextudio/snmpclitools)
written in pure-Python could be installed via:
```bash
$ pip install snmpclitools-lextudio
```
and used in the very similar manner as conventional Net-SNMP tools:
```bash
$ snmpget.py -v3 -l authPriv -u usr-md5-des -A authkey1 -X privkey1 demo.pysnmp.com sysDescr.0
SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: Linux zeus 4.8.6.5-smp #2 SMP Sun Nov 13 14:58:11 CDT 2016 i686
```
Examples
--------
PySNMP is designed in a layered fashion. Top-level and easiest to use API is known as
*hlapi*. Here's a quick example on how to SNMP GET:
```python
from pysnmp.hlapi import *
iterator = getCmd(SnmpEngine(),
CommunityData('public'),
UdpTransportTarget(('demo.pysnmp.com', 161)),
ContextData(),
ObjectType(ObjectIdentity('SNMPv2-MIB', 'sysDescr', 0)))
errorIndication, errorStatus, errorIndex, varBinds = next(iterator)
if errorIndication: # SNMP engine errors
print(errorIndication)
else:
if errorStatus: # SNMP agent errors
print('%s at %s' % (errorStatus.prettyPrint(), varBinds[int(errorIndex)-1] if errorIndex else '?'))
else:
for varBind in varBinds: # SNMP response contents
print(' = '.join([x.prettyPrint() for x in varBind]))
```
This is how to send SNMP TRAP:
```python
from pysnmp.hlapi import *
errorIndication, errorStatus, errorIndex, varBinds = next(
sendNotification(
SnmpEngine(OctetString(hexValue='8000000001020304')),
UsmUserData('usr-sha-aes128', 'authkey1', 'privkey1',
authProtocol=usmHMACSHAAuthProtocol,
privProtocol=usmAesCfb128Protocol),
UdpTransportTarget(('demo.pysnmp.com', 162)),
ContextData(),
'trap',
NotificationType(ObjectIdentity('SNMPv2-MIB', 'authenticationFailure'))
)
)
if errorIndication:
print(errorIndication)
```
> We maintain publicly available SNMP Agent and TRAP sink at
> [demo.pysnmp.com](https://www.pysnmp.com/snmpsim/public-snmp-agent-simulator.html). You are
> welcome to use it while experimenting with whatever SNMP software you deal with.
```bash
$ python3 examples/hlapi/asyncore/sync/manager/cmdgen/usm-sha-aes128.py
SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = SunOS zeus.pysnmp.com 4.1.3_U1 1 sun4m
$
$ python3 examples//hlapi/asyncore/sync/agent/ntforg/v3-inform.py
SNMPv2-MIB::sysUpTime.0 = 0
SNMPv2-MIB::snmpTrapOID.0 = SNMPv2-MIB::warmStart
SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0 = system name
```
Other than that, PySNMP is capable to automatically fetch and use required MIBs from HTTP, FTP sites
or local directories. You could configure any MIB source available to you (including
[this one](https://github.com/lextudio/mibs.snmplabs.com/tree/master/asn1)) for that purpose.

at pysnmp web site.
