# AgentX

[![Documentation](https://godoc.org/github.com/posteo/go-agentx?status.svg)](http://godoc.org/github.com/posteo/go-agentx)

A library with a pure Go implementation of the [AgentX-Protocol](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2741). The library is not yet feature-complete, but should be far enough to used in a production environment.

The AgentX-Protocol can be used to extend a snmp-daemon such that it dispatches the requests to an OID-subtree to your Go application. Those requests are than handled by this library and can be replied with metrics about your applications state.

## State

The library implements all variable types (Integer, OctetString, Null, ObjectIdentifier, IPAddress, Counter32, Gauge32, TimeTicks, Opaque, Counter64, NoSuchObject, NoSuchInstance, EndOfMIBView), but only some of the requests (Get, GetNext, GetBulk). Set-requests and Traps are not implemented yet.

## Helper

In order to provided metrics, your have to implement the `agentx.Handler` interface. For convenience, you can use the `agentx.ListHandler` implementation, which takes a list of OIDs and values and serves them if requested. An example is listed below.

## Example

```go
package main

import (
"log"
"net"
"time"

"github.com/posteo/go-agentx"
"github.com/posteo/go-agentx/pdu"
"github.com/posteo/go-agentx/value"
)

func main() {
client, err := agentx.Dial("tcp", "localhost:705")
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf(err)
}
client.Timeout = 1 * time.Minute
client.ReconnectInterval = 1 * time.Second

session, err := client.Session()
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf(err)
}

listHandler := &agentx.ListHandler{}

item := listHandler.Add("1.3.6.1.4.1.45995.3.1")
item.Type = pdu.VariableTypeInteger
item.Value = int32(-123)

item = listHandler.Add("1.3.6.1.4.1.45995.3.2")
item.Type = pdu.VariableTypeOctetString
item.Value = "echo test"

item = listHandler.Add("1.3.6.1.4.1.45995.3.3")
item.Type = pdu.VariableTypeNull
item.Value = nil

item = listHandler.Add("1.3.6.1.4.1.45995.3.4")
item.Type = pdu.VariableTypeObjectIdentifier
item.Value = "1.3.6.1.4.1.45995.1.5"

item = listHandler.Add("1.3.6.1.4.1.45995.3.5")
item.Type = pdu.VariableTypeIPAddress
item.Value = net.IP{10, 10, 10, 10}

item = listHandler.Add("1.3.6.1.4.1.45995.3.6")
item.Type = pdu.VariableTypeCounter32
item.Value = uint32(123)

item = listHandler.Add("1.3.6.1.4.1.45995.3.7")
item.Type = pdu.VariableTypeGauge32
item.Value = uint32(123)

item = listHandler.Add("1.3.6.1.4.1.45995.3.8")
item.Type = pdu.VariableTypeTimeTicks
item.Value = 123 * time.Second

item = listHandler.Add("1.3.6.1.4.1.45995.3.9")
item.Type = pdu.VariableTypeOpaque
item.Value = []byte{1, 2, 3}

item = listHandler.Add("1.3.6.1.4.1.45995.3.10")
item.Type = pdu.VariableTypeCounter64
item.Value = uint64(12345678901234567890)

session.Handler = listHandler

if err := session.Register(127, value.MustParseOID("1.3.6.1.4.1.45995.3")); err != nil {
log.Fatalf(err)
}

for {
time.Sleep(100 * time.Millisecond)
}
}
```

## Connection lost

If the connection to the snmp-daemon is lost, the client tries to reconnect. Therefor the property `ReconnectInterval` has be set. It specifies a duration that is waited before a re-connect is tried.
If the client has open session or registrations, the client try to re-establish both on a successful re-connect.
