Based on the xfortune-plugin.

It gets the actual SNMP values out of any by the server reachable device (e.g. servers, printers, temp. sensors). I wrote this plugin to realize an easy to set-up server-admin dashboard.

You need the IP of the device and the exact oid… NEW: You can now also set the community.

<snmplive ip="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" oid=".x.x. (...) x.x">

There's also tarball for easy installation: http://glen.alkohol.ee/pld/snmplive.tar.gz. (version 2007-03-08) Just Download unpack it and run:

$ make install prefix=/usr/share/dokuwiki

• it can not resolve hostnames (yet)
• little problems with the ajax frame work (throws 2 errors at the beginning)
• data is not cached (should cache like rss feeds are cached)

I have just installed this plugin using the plugin manager.
If I insert any <snmplive…> entry on a page, the page renders as completely blank - no headers, no footers, no content of any sort…

I am using the monobook template (in case that's significant).

weird, hostnames are resolved for me, using php 5.2.3. however i noticed it first lowercases the oid names and secondly issues some warning:

<snmplive ip="localhost" oid="sysDescr.0">

PHP Warning:  snmpget(): Invalid object identifier: sysdescr.0 in /usr/share/dokuwiki/lib/plugins/snmplive/syntax.php on line 105, referer: http://localhost/dokuwiki/playground:snmplive

however it outputs result ok to the page.

A prerequisite for this plugin is the snmp package for php5. On a Debian system you could do

apt-get install php5-snmp

Can anyone guide me how to sum several snmplive outputs in dokuwiki?

I finally figured it out. You will need tablecalc plugin or something similar:

I am struggling to get any output. If I run the command for SNMPGET from command line I get the expected result
But running in Dokuwiki I get
Warning: snmpget(): No response from xxxxx in /var/www/dokuwiki/lib/plugins/snmplive/syntax.php on line 104
