You can append query options to the URI in the following format, ?option=value&option=value&...

Options

Name

Description

type

The type of action you want to perform. Actually you can enter here poll or trap. The value poll will instruct the endpoint to poll a given host for the supplied OID keys. If you put in trap you will setup a listener for SNMP Trap Events.

address

This is the IP address and the port of the host to poll or where to setup the Trap Receiver. Example: 127.0.0.1:162

protocol

Here you can select which protocol to use. By default it will be udp protocol but you may want to use tcp as well

retries

Defines how often a retry is made before canceling the request. (Default: 2)

timeout

Sets the timeout value for the request in millis. (Default: 1500)

snmpVersion

Sets the snmp version for the request. (Default: 0 which means SNMPv1)

snmpCommunity

Sets the community octet string for the snmp request. (Default: public)

delay

Defines the delay in seconds between to poll cycles. (Default: 60)

oids

Defines which values you are interested in. Please have a look at the Wikipedia to get a better understanding. You may provide a single OID or a coma separated list of OIDs. Example: oids="1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0,1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.2.1.5.1,1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.5.1.1.1,1.3.6.1.2.1.43.5.1.1.11.1"

Examples

Polling a remote device:

snmp:192.168.178.23:161?protocol=udp&type=poll&oids=1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5.0

Setting up a trap receiver (Note that no OID info is needed here!):

snmp:127.0.0.1:162?protocol=udp&type=trap

Routing example in Java: (converts the SNMP PDU to XML String)

from("snmp:192.168.178.23:161?protocol=udp&type=poll&oids=1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5.0").
convertBodyTo(String.class).
to("activemq:snmp.states");
