NAME
       rddbot-get -- retrieves an SNMP value from an SNMP uri

SYNOPSIS
       rddbot-get    [-Mnr]    [-m   mibdir]   [-s   srcaddr]	[-t   timeout]
		  snmp://community@host/oid
       rddbot-get -V

DESCRIPTION
       rddbot-get retrieves an SNMP value from an SNMP URI. The	format is  the
       same as is used by rrdbotd(8).  You can use rddbot-get for testing SNMP
       polling while configuring rrdbotd(8).

OPTIONS
       The options are as follows.

       -m mibdir   The	directory  in which to look for	MIB files. The default
		   directory is	usually	sufficient.

       -M	   Display MIB parsing warnings.

       -n	   Display numeric OIDs.

       -r	   Recursively walk the	SNMP values under the given OID.

       -s srcaddr  Source address to send SNMP packets from.

       -t timeout  The amount of time (in seconds) to wait  for	 an  SNMP  re-
		   sponse. Defaults to 5 seconds.

       -V	   Prints  the	version	of rddbot-get and the locations	of the
		   configuration files,	RRD files etc.

MULTIPLE AGENTS
       rddbot-get supports failover between multiple agents. If	an SNMP	 query
       fails on	one agent or a value is	not found when querying	an agent, then
       it will switch to another configured agent.

       When combined with a query (see TABLE QUERIES) you can use this feature
       to search for a given value in a	table on one of	multiple agents.

       To  use failover, simply	use multiple host names	with commas (without a
       space) separating them. For example:

	     snmp://public@two.example.com,one.example.com/sysUptime.0

TABLE QUERIES
       rddbot-get can query a value that corresponds to	a certain  row	in  an
       SNMP  table.  On	many SNMP agents the indexes of	rows in	tables are not
       fixed, and this allows you to retrieve a	certain	value no  matter  what
       row of the table	it is on.

       Add the OID and value you want to search	for in the table to the	end of
       the SNMP	URL. Only one query value is supported.

       For  example  to	get the	outbound packet	count on the 'eth0' interface,
       you would use:

	     snmp://public@example.com/ifInUcastPkts?ifDescr=eth0
