RE: SNMPGet and Log to file

Hi Fredrik,

Thanks for the feedback, I must admit to getting confused about the function of the -L switch. (Command-Line help doesn't really make it clear that it's just for error messages, I don't think).

I've been using the '>' redirector in the mean-time but because the SCADA system doesn't open a visible command window when it executes the command there is nothing that gets redirected. I've had to resort to the rather ugly solution of writing a batch file and having windows scheduler run it every 15 minutes to actually get a file that I can parse into the SCADA system.

I've been trying to avoid the OPC route as the OPC client driver for the SCADA system is an optional extra that I will have to pay for an additional licence for. Since I am just experimenting at this stage I can't really justify that!

Thanks Again

Daniel.

Hi!

The obvious solution would be to stop using Windows and start using a real OS, but I guess that's not the subject of the day... SCADA systems I've bumped into have been using OPC for communications. Several vendors have SNMP to OPC converters (Matrikon OPC SNMP server for instance) that may be one way to go for you. A warning for the Matrikon product though.
Email me if you want to know the issues I've encountered with their product.

I think the -Lf does exactly what it's supposed to do:

"LOGGING OPTIONS
        The mechanism and destination to use for logging of warning and error messages can be  controlled  by  passing  various
        parameters to the -L flag.

        -Le    Log messages to the standard error stream.

        -Lf FILE
               Log messages to the specified file."

You have no errors, and hence, no lines in the log file!

Try this:

snmpget -v 2c  -c <community name withheld > <IP address withheld> 1.3.6.1.4.1.14817.3.3.2.20.1.5.2 >> "c:\Net SNMP\Output.txt"
