Implementing an SNMP check in openwisp-monitoring

[Purhan Kaushik]

Regarding the netengine project idea, It's not clear to me how the SNMP check will be implemented in openwisp-monitoring. I have a question:

How is the connection going to be handled? I can see that we use SSH (from openwisp-controller.connection) in openwisp-monitoring to connect to devices. If we want to create an SNMP connection, wouldn't we want to create a backend for SNMP connections as well?

I will use this thread if I happen to have any further questions.

Yes we'll have to create an SNMP connector class, and SNMP credentials will have to be created in the system, SNMP can work with a simple authentication scheme which allows to specify a single string called "community" or more complex authentication schemes which we can implement later on.
