Chapter 111. SNMP
Chapter 111. SNMP Since Camel 2.1 Both producer and consumer are supported The SNMP component gives you the ability to poll SNMP capable devices or receiving traps 111.1. Dependencies When using snmp with Red Hat build of Camel Spring Boot make sure to use the following Maven dependency to have support for auto configuration: <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId> <artifactId>camel-snmp-starter</artifactId> </dependency> 111.2. URI format The component supports polling OID values from an SNMP enabled device and receiving traps. 111.3. Snmp Producer It can also be used to request information using GET method. The response body type is org.apache.camel.component.snmp.SnmpMessage . 111.4. Configuring Options Camel components are configured on two separate levels: component level endpoint level 111.4.1. Configuring component options The component level is the highest level which holds general and common configurations that are inherited by the endpoints. For example a component may have security settings, credentials for authentication, urls for network connection and so forth. Some components only have a few options, and others may have many. Because components typically have pre configured defaults that are commonly used, then you may often only need to configure a few options on a component; or none at all. Configuring components can be done with the Component DSL , in a configuration file (application.properties|yaml), or directly with Java code. 111.4.2. Configuring endpoint options Where you find yourself configuring the most is on endpoints, as endpoints often have many options, which allows you to configure what you need the endpoint to do. The options are also categorized into whether the endpoint is used as consumer (from) or as a producer (to), or used for both. Configuring endpoints is most often done directly in the endpoint URI as path and query parameters. You can also use the Endpoint DSL and DataFormat DSL as a type safe way of configuring endpoints and data formats in Java. A good practice when configuring options is to use Property Placeholders , which allows to not hardcode urls, port numbers, sensitive information, and other settings. In other words placeholders allows to externalize the configuration from your code, and gives more flexibility and reuse. The following two sections lists all the options, firstly for the component followed by the endpoint. 111.5. Component Options The SNMP component supports 5 options, which are listed below. Name Description Default Type bridgeErrorHandler (consumer) Allows for bridging the consumer to the Camel routing Error Handler, which mean any exceptions occurred while the consumer is trying to pickup incoming messages, or the likes, will now be processed as a message and handled by the routing Error Handler. By default the consumer will use the org.apache.camel.spi.ExceptionHandler to deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored. false boolean lazyStartProducer (producer) Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel's routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing. false boolean autowiredEnabled (advanced) Whether autowiring is enabled. This is used for automatic autowiring options (the option must be marked as autowired) by looking up in the registry to find if there is a single instance of matching type, which then gets configured on the component. This can be used for automatic configuring JDBC data sources, JMS connection factories, AWS Clients, etc. true boolean healthCheckConsumerEnabled (health) Used for enabling or disabling all consumer based health checks from this component. true boolean healthCheckProducerEnabled (health) Used for enabling or disabling all producer based health checks from this component. Notice: Camel has by default disabled all producer based health-checks. You can turn on producer checks globally by setting camel.health.producersEnabled=true. true boolean 111.6. Endpoint Options The SNMP endpoint is configured using URI syntax: with the following path and query parameters: 111.6.1. Path Parameters (2 parameters) Name Description Default Type host (common) Required Hostname of the SNMP enabled device. String port (common) Required Port number of the SNMP enabled device. Integer 111.6.2. Query Parameters (36 parameters) Name Description Default Type oids (common) Defines which values you are interested in. Please have a look at the Wikipedia to get a better understanding. You may provide a single OID or a coma separated list of OIDs. Example: oids=1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0,1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.2.1.5.1,1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.5.1.1.1,1.3.6.1.2.1.43.5.1.1.11.1. OIDList protocol (common) Here you can select which protocol to use. You can use either udp or tcp. Enum values: tcp udp udp String retries (common) Defines how often a retry is made before canceling the request. 2 int snmpCommunity (common) Sets the community octet string for the snmp request. public String snmpContextEngineId (common) Sets the context engine ID field of the scoped PDU. String snmpContextName (common) Sets the context name field of this scoped PDU. String snmpVersion (common) Sets the snmp version for the request. The value 0 means SNMPv1, 1 means SNMPv2c, and the value 3 means SNMPv3. Enum values: 0 1 3 0 int timeout (common) Sets the timeout value for the request in millis. 1500 int type (common) Which operation to perform such as poll, trap, etc. Enum values: TRAP POLL GET_NEXT SnmpActionType delay (consumer) Sets update rate in seconds. 60000 long sendEmptyMessageWhenIdle (consumer) If the polling consumer did not poll any files, you can enable this option to send an empty message (no body) instead. false boolean treeList (consumer) Sets the flag whether the scoped PDU will be displayed as the list if it has child elements in its tree. false boolean bridgeErrorHandler (consumer (advanced)) Allows for bridging the consumer to the Camel routing Error Handler, which mean any exceptions occurred while the consumer is trying to pickup incoming messages, or the likes, will now be processed as a message and handled by the routing Error Handler. By default the consumer will use the org.apache.camel.spi.ExceptionHandler to deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored. false boolean exceptionHandler (consumer (advanced)) To let the consumer use a custom ExceptionHandler. Notice if the option bridgeErrorHandler is enabled then this option is not in use. By default the consumer will deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored. ExceptionHandler exchangePattern (consumer (advanced)) Sets the exchange pattern when the consumer creates an exchange. Enum values: InOnly InOut ExchangePattern pollStrategy (consumer (advanced)) A pluggable org.apache.camel.PollingConsumerPollingStrategy allowing you to provide your custom implementation to control error handling usually occurred during the poll operation before an Exchange have been created and being routed in Camel. PollingConsumerPollStrategy lazyStartProducer (producer (advanced)) Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel's routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing. false boolean backoffErrorThreshold (scheduler) The number of subsequent error polls (failed due some error) that should happen before the backoffMultipler should kick-in. int backoffIdleThreshold (scheduler) The number of subsequent idle polls that should happen before the backoffMultipler should kick-in. int backoffMultiplier (scheduler) To let the scheduled polling consumer backoff if there has been a number of subsequent idles/errors in a row. The multiplier is then the number of polls that will be skipped before the actual attempt is happening again. When this option is in use then backoffIdleThreshold and/or backoffErrorThreshold must also be configured. int greedy (scheduler) If greedy is enabled, then the ScheduledPollConsumer will run immediately again, if the run polled 1 or more messages. false boolean initialDelay (scheduler) Milliseconds before the first poll starts. 1000 long repeatCount (scheduler) Specifies a maximum limit of number of fires. So if you set it to 1, the scheduler will only fire once. If you set it to 5, it will only fire five times. A value of zero or negative means fire forever. 0 long runLoggingLevel (scheduler) The consumer logs a start/complete log line when it polls. This option allows you to configure the logging level for that. Enum values: TRACE DEBUG INFO WARN ERROR OFF TRACE LoggingLevel scheduledExecutorService (scheduler) Allows for configuring a custom/shared thread pool to use for the consumer. By default each consumer has its own single threaded thread pool. ScheduledExecutorService scheduler (scheduler) To use a cron scheduler from either camel-spring or camel-quartz component. Use value spring or quartz for built in scheduler. none Object schedulerProperties (scheduler) To configure additional properties when using a custom scheduler or any of the Quartz, Spring based scheduler. Map startScheduler (scheduler) Whether the scheduler should be auto started. true boolean timeUnit (scheduler) Time unit for initialDelay and delay options. Enum values: NANOSECONDS MICROSECONDS MILLISECONDS SECONDS MINUTES HOURS DAYS MILLISECONDS TimeUnit useFixedDelay (scheduler) Controls if fixed delay or fixed rate is used. See ScheduledExecutorService in JDK for details. true boolean authenticationPassphrase (security) The authentication passphrase. If not null, authenticationProtocol must also be not null. RFC3414 11.2 requires passphrases to have a minimum length of 8 bytes. If the length of authenticationPassphrase is less than 8 bytes an IllegalArgumentException is thrown. String authenticationProtocol (security) Authentication protocol to use if security level is set to enable authentication The possible values are: MD5, SHA1. Enum values: MD5 SHA1 String privacyPassphrase (security) The privacy passphrase. If not null, privacyProtocol must also be not null. RFC3414 11.2 requires passphrases to have a minimum length of 8 bytes. If the length of authenticationPassphrase is less than 8 bytes an IllegalArgumentException is thrown. String privacyProtocol (security) The privacy protocol ID to be associated with this user. If set to null, this user only supports unencrypted messages. String securityLevel (security) Sets the security level for this target. The supplied security level must be supported by the security model dependent information associated with the security name set for this target. The value 1 means: No authentication and no encryption. Anyone can create and read messages with this security level The value 2 means: Authentication and no encryption. Only the one with the right authentication key can create messages with this security level, but anyone can read the contents of the message. The value 3 means: Authentication and encryption. Only the one with the right authentication key can create messages with this security level, and only the one with the right encryption/decryption key can read the contents of the message. Enum values: 1 2 3 3 int securityName (security) Sets the security name to be used with this target. String 111.7. The result of a poll Given the situation, that I poll for the following OIDs: OIDs The result will be the following: Result of toString conversion <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <snmp> <entry> <oid>1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0</oid> <value>6 days, 21:14:28.00</value> </entry> <entry> <oid>1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.2.1.5.1</oid> <value>2</value> </entry> <entry> <oid>1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.5.1.1.1</oid> <value>3</value> </entry> <entry> <oid>1.3.6.1.2.1.43.5.1.1.11.1</oid> <value>6</value> </entry> <entry> <oid>1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0</oid> <value>My Very Special Printer Of Brand Unknown</value> </entry> </snmp> As you maybe recognized there is one more result than requested... .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0. This one is filled in by the device automatically in this special case. So it may absolutely happen, that you receive more than you requested... be prepared. OID starting with dot representation As you may notice, default snmpVersion is 0 which means version1 in the endpoint if it is not set explicitly. Make sure you explicitly set snmpVersion which is not default value, of course in a case of where you are able to query SNMP tables with different versions. Other possible values are version2c and version3 . 111.8. Examples Polling a remote device: Setting up a trap receiver ( Note that no OID info is needed here! ): You can get the community of SNMP TRAP with message header 'securityName', peer address of the SNMP TRAP with message header 'peerAddress'. Routing example in Java: (converts the SNMP PDU to XML String) from("snmp:192.168.178.23:161?protocol=udp&type=POLL&oids=1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5.0"). convertBodyTo(String.class). to("activemq:snmp.states"); 111.9. Spring Boot Auto-Configuration The component supports 6 options, which are listed below. Name Description Default Type camel.component.snmp.autowired-enabled Whether autowiring is enabled. This is used for automatic autowiring options (the option must be marked as autowired) by looking up in the registry to find if there is a single instance of matching type, which then gets configured on the component. This can be used for automatic configuring JDBC data sources, JMS connection factories, AWS Clients, etc. true Boolean camel.component.snmp.bridge-error-handler Allows for bridging the consumer to the Camel routing Error Handler, which mean any exceptions occurred while the consumer is trying to pickup incoming messages, or the likes, will now be processed as a message and handled by the routing Error Handler. By default the consumer will use the org.apache.camel.spi.ExceptionHandler to deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored. false Boolean camel.component.snmp.enabled Whether to enable auto configuration of the snmp component. This is enabled by default. Boolean camel.component.snmp.health-check-consumer-enabled Used for enabling or disabling all consumer based health checks from this component. true Boolean camel.component.snmp.health-check-producer-enabled Used for enabling or disabling all producer based health checks from this component. Notice: Camel has by default disabled all producer based health-checks. You can turn on producer checks globally by setting camel.health.producersEnabled=true. true Boolean camel.component.snmp.lazy-start-producer Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel's routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing. false Boolean
