Easy to use SNMP client library for c++? [closed]

Question

What's an easy to use SNMP client library for c++?

Kiakiah

Answer 1

Probably the best choice is net-snmp. Note that the library has "C" linkage but will work just fine with C++.

Answer 2

SNMP++ is also a nice and open source library for C++ developers.

Easier to use than net-snmp in my opinion... – Oakley

looks nice and simple. Is it really? is it robust and reliable? – Oberstone

Why not evaluate it? It's open source so you can feel free to try it out. – Stopgap

I will. But I'm on a tight schedule and I'd better not lose time with a poor library :) anyway it looks ok for now – Oberstone

AES 192 encryption failed for me using this library – Predicate

There exists at least two different AES192 implementations: 1. That one that was defined in a IETF draft. That has been originally implemented by SNMP++ (agentpp.com) and SNMP4J. 2. An implementation that was part of many Cisco devices which used a different algorithm than in the IETF draft. Most likely Antarus tested with a Cisco device. The second AES192 implementation is now also available in SNMP++ and SNMP4J. – Telefilm

Is there any Code example or some kind of "Get Started" tutorial available? All I can find is the class documentation over here: agentpp.com/doc/snmp++3.x/index.html – Phototelegraphy

Answer 3

I have found that Net-SNMP does not support multi-threading with v3 type queries. So if you are writing an SNMP monitoring tool that will be polling multiple hosts then you will need to take this into consideration.

Answer 4

OpenSNMP contains a complete multi-threaded implementation of SNMPv3 that is done in C++ (complete with classes, etc). It's not heavily used and maintained though.

Net-SNMP with v3 over TLS/DTLS is likely to be threadsafe as it's really SNMPv3/USM that contains threading issues. I think.
