In the last time i have a lot to do with creating and testing SNMP monitors in our monitoring system. Rather than being surprised when a SNMP monitor doesn’t work correctly, i would like to test my newly created monitors against a SNMP simulation tool.
So i was looking for an SNMP simulating tool. But the only ones i could found, are to expensive for me or not useable.
Cause of this, i started to develope my own SNMP simulation tool running on Windows system.
The currently planed features are:
- MIB Browser
- Record values from a life Agent (walk an Hardware agent and log it)
- Simulate different agent simultanous
- Log SNMP request received by the tool and answeers from the tool to your monitoring system
- Change values of OID’s manualy to test monitoring systems when incorrect values are submitted
- Change values of OID’s automaticaly by predifined rules / tasks
- Support for SNMP v1, v2 and v3
Let me now, which feature you would like in an SNMP simulation tool.
Have you tried SNMP from Oidview? you can try it for free, id does a great job and I think it’s not so expensive. Hope will help.
