OSS_SNMP is a PHP SNMP library for people who HATE SNMP, MIBs and OIDs!

I (Barry O'Donovan) hate SNMP! But I have to use it on a daily basis with my company, Open Solutions.

Don't get me wrong, it's an essential tool in the trade of network engineering but it's also a serious PITA. Finding MIBs, OIBs, making them work, translating them, cross-vendor translations, etc, blah, blah. And then, when you do find what you need, you'll have forgotten it months later when you need it again.

So, I wrote what I believe is a very useful PHP library and present it here now in the hopes that the wider network engineering community will find it useful.

• OSS_SNMP in action - a quick example
• MIBs Implemented
• The SNMP Class itself
• Using MIBs
• How to write (and contribute) your own MIBs
• Caching results
• Discovery of device model, operating system and other details
• Online phpDoc documentation.

The only requirements for OSS_SNMP are:

• PHP 5.4 (or later)
• the PHP SNMP extension
