Can we have snmpnode in n8n , which helps to a lot of network engineers
What helps network engineers
snmp basically helps to retrieve the information from network devices like switches routers , and with the addition of snmp node to n8n its turns into huge advantage for those who wanna perform network automation
Welcome to the community @Kiran_Boddeda!
Very interesting. Have literally not the slightest idea about snmp (honestly is the first time I read about it). For that reason one question about it. I assume you mean having a generic SNMP node, similar to the HTTP Request node?
Btw. do also not forget to upvote your own feature request.
@jan Yep jan just like http node , if we have snmp and that retrieves the data from network devices it will be great advantage to retrieve the data
It’s very interesting, ALL network administrator and It support should use this Tool. Is relative simples, but the problema is a dictory info. Should have a way to import vendors smnp oid and node knows some standart oid.
@Fabio_Valentim n8n is basically an application and it relies on the host machine for snmp functionality
lets say i have a device whose snmp mib file is loaded to host /usr/share/snmp/mib directory & when n8n makes a call it relies on the host snmp mib and retrieves the info
i hope this should be enough , because as an application its not necessary for the application to contain snmp directory
Just came to request this.
however, I want to add to it.
2 nodes.
First node is ‘snmpwalk’ with essentially an identical feature set. Pull all OIDs or just a specific one.
Second node is a snmp receiver, basically a clone of the websocket but listens for SNMP traps.
take a look at GitHub - bangunindo/trap2json: SNMP Trap to JSON Forwarder for potential inspiration.
as an alternative, a generic UDP listener so we can get raw data to handle in code, but part of my goal here is to make processes that are no or low code so I’d prefer ‘first class’ snmp support.
thanks.
SNMP is a critical protocol for monitoring most network equipment, it would be a great plus to add support for it.
