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.ComResponse. 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).
Note: There are several things to keep in mind when attempting to use the SNMP API. If you are experiencing errors, see Troubleshooting the SNMP API.
