Just in time for your Christmas gift-giving, there is a new version of
the SNMP library for Ruby now available on RubyForge.
The SNMP protocol provides the capability to monitor and manage
switches, routers, printers, desktops, and other equipment in your
network.
This library supports both the v1 and v2c versions of the SNMP
protocol and is written in pure Ruby so that your network management
scripts can go anywhere that Ruby does without installing additional
libraries or tools.
Version 0.4.1 of this software introduces symbolic OIDs for all
Manager APIs. Instead of typing cryptic OIDs like "1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2",
you can now type slightly less cryptic OIDs like "ifTable". The
symbol tables are encoded in YAML for easy creation and editing. And
as an extra bonus, this release includes symbol files for all of the
current IETF MIB modules.
There have also been some improvements to table walking to make it
more robust and easier to use.
Cheers,
Dave
