Advanced Notification Originator¶
INFORM with custom ContextName¶
Send SNMP notification using the following options:
- SNMPv3
- with user ‘usr-md5-none’, MD5 auth, no priv
- send INFORM notification
- in behalf of contextEngineId = SnmpEngineId, contextName ‘my-context’
- over IPv4/UDP
- with TRAP ID ‘warmStart’ specified as a string OID
Sending SNMPv3 Notification in behalf of non-default ContextName requires having a collection of Managed Objects registered under the ContextName being used.
Functionally similar to:
$ snmpinform -v3 -l authNoPriv -u usr-md5-none -A authkey1 -n my-context demo.snmplabs.com 12345 0.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.2
from pysnmp.hlapi import *
iterator = sendNotification(
SnmpEngine(),
UsmUserData('usr-md5-none', 'authkey1'),
UdpTransportTarget(('demo.snmplabs.com', 162)),
ContextData(contextName='my-context'),
'inform',
NotificationType(ObjectIdentity('1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.2')).loadMibs('SNMPv2-MIB')
)
errorIndication, errorStatus, errorIndex, varBinds = next(iterator)
if errorIndication:
print(errorIndication)
elif errorStatus:
print('%s at %s' % (errorStatus.prettyPrint(),
errorIndex and varBinds[int(errorIndex) - 1][0] or '?'))
else:
for varBind in varBinds:
print(' = '.join([x.prettyPrint() for x in varBind]))

INFORM with custom ContextEngineId¶
Send SNMP notification using the following options:
- SNMPv3
- with user ‘usr-md5-none’, MD5 auth, no priv
- send INFORM notification
- in behalf of contextEngineId 0x8000000004030201, contextName ‘’
- over IPv4/UDP
- with TRAP ID ‘warmStart’ specified as a string OID
Sending SNMPv3 Notification in behalf of non-default ContextEngineId requires having a collection of Managed Objects registered under the ContextEngineId being used.
Functionally similar to:
$ snmpinform -v3 -l authNoPriv -u usr-md5-none -A authkey1 -E 0x8000000004030201 demo.snmplabs.com 12345 1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.2
from pysnmp.hlapi import *
iterator = sendNotification(
SnmpEngine(),
UsmUserData('usr-md5-none', 'authkey1'),
UdpTransportTarget(('demo.snmplabs.com', 162)),
ContextData(OctetString(hexValue='8000000004030201')),
'inform',
NotificationType(
ObjectIdentity('1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.2')
).loadMibs('SNMPv2-MIB')
)
errorIndication, errorStatus, errorIndex, varBinds = next(iterator)
if errorIndication:
print(errorIndication)
elif errorStatus:
print('%s at %s' % (errorStatus.prettyPrint(),
errorIndex and varBinds[int(errorIndex) - 1][0] or '?'))
