SNMP::walk

(PHP 5 >= 5.4.0, PHP 7)

Fetch SNMP object subtree

public array SNMP::walk ( string $object_id [, bool $suffix_as_key = FALSE [, int $max_repetitions [, int $non_repeaters ]]] )

SNMP::walk() is used to read SNMP subtree rooted at specified object_id.

Parameters:

object_id

Root of subtree to be fetched

suffix_as_key

By default full OID notation is used for keys in output array. If set to TRUE subtree prefix will be removed from keys leaving only suffix of object_id.

non_repeaters

This specifies the number of supplied variables that should not be iterated over. The default is to use this value from SNMP object.

max_repetitions

This specifies the maximum number of iterations over the repeating variables. The default is to use this value from SNMP object.

Returns:

Returns an associative array of the SNMP object ids and their values on success or FALSE on error. When a SNMP error occures SNMP::getErrno() and SNMP::getError() can be used for retrieving error number (specific to SNMP extension, see class constants) and error message respectively.

Exception:

This method does not throw any exceptions by default. To enable throwing an SNMPException exception when some of library errors occur the SNMP class parameter exceptions_enabled should be set to a corresponding value. See SNMP::$exceptions_enabled explanation for more details.

Examples:

SNMP::walk() example

<?php
  $session = new SNMP(SNMP::VERSION_1, "127.0.0.1", "public");
  $fulltree = $session->walk(".");
  print_r($fulltree);
  $session->close();
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

Array
(
    [SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0] => STRING: Test server
    [SNMPv2-MIB::sysObjectID.0] => OID: NET-SNMP-MIB::netSnmpAgentOIDs.8
    [DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance] => Timeticks: (1150681750) 133 days, 4:20:17.50
    [SNMPv2-MIB::sysContact.0] => STRING: Nobody
    [SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0] => STRING: server.localdomain
    ...
)

suffix_as_key example

suffix_as_key may be used when merging multiple SNMP subtrees into one. This example maps interface names to their type.

<?php
  $session = new SNMP(SNMP::VERSION_1, "127.0.0.1", "public");
  $session->valueretrieval = SNMP_VALUE_PLAIN;
  $ifDescr = $session->walk(".1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2", TRUE);
  $session->valueretrieval = SNMP_VALUE_LIBRARY;
  $ifType = $session->walk(".1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.3", TRUE);
  print_r($ifDescr);
  print_r($ifType);
  $result = array();
  foreach($ifDescr as $i => $n) {
    $result[$n] = $ifType[$i];
  }
  print_r($result);
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

Array
(
    [1] => igb0
    [2] => igb1
    [3] => ipfw0
    [4] => lo0
    [5] => lagg0
)

    [1] => INTEGER: ieee8023adLag(161)
    [2] => INTEGER: ieee8023adLag(161)
    [3] => INTEGER: ethernetCsmacd(6)
    [4] => INTEGER: softwareLoopback(24)
    [5] => INTEGER: ethernetCsmacd(6)
)
Array
(
    [igb0] => INTEGER: ieee8023adLag(161)
    [igb1] => INTEGER: ieee8023adLag(161)
    [ipfw0] => INTEGER: ethernetCsmacd(6)
    [lo0] => INTEGER: softwareLoopback(24)
    [lagg0] => INTEGER: ethernetCsmacd(6)
