The WhatsUp Gold SNMP COM API has been enhanced to improve the performance of your scripted monitors and actions. With the addition of
GetMultiple
, you have the ability to get multiple OIDs within a single SNMP request.
GetNext
issues the SNMP GetNext command to retrieve the value of the object that follows a specified object. Finally, the addition of the
SetFunction
allows you to send SNMP set commands to your SNMP manageable devices.
The SNMP API includes the following objects:
- CoreAsp.SnmpRqst. The main SNMP object used to send SNMP requests (Get, GetNext, Set) to a remote device.
- CoreAsp.ComResult. An object returned by certain methods of the SnmpRqst object to indicate success or failure.
- CoreAsp.ComSnmpResponse. A response object returned by certain methods of the SnmpRqst object that contain the status (either error or success) of an SNMP request and the value of the polled object(s).
