SNMP
Since Camel 2.1
The snmp: component gives you the ability to poll SNMP capable devices or receiving traps
Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml
for this component:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
<artifactId>camel-snmp</artifactId>
<version>x.x.x</version>
<!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>
URI format
snmp://hostname[:port][?Options]
The component supports polling OID values from an SNMP enabled device and receiving traps.
You can append query options to the URI in the following format,
?option=value&option=value&…
Snmp Producer
Available from 2.18 release
It can also be used to request information using GET method.
The response body type is org.apache.camel.component.snmp.SnmpMessage
Options
The SNMP component has no options.
The SNMP endpoint is configured using URI syntax:
snmp:host:port
with the following path and query parameters:
Path Parameters (2 parameters):
Name | Description | Default | Type |
---|---|---|---|
host |
Required Hostname of the SNMP enabled device |
String |
|
port |
Required Port number of the SNMP enabled device |
Integer |
Query Parameters (35 parameters):
Name | Description | Default | Type |
---|---|---|---|
bridgeErrorHandler (consumer) |
Allows for bridging the consumer to the Camel routing Error Handler, which mean any exceptions occurred while the consumer is trying to pickup incoming messages, or the likes, will now be processed as a message and handled by the routing Error Handler. By default the consumer will use the org.apache.camel.spi.ExceptionHandler to deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored. |
false |
boolean |
delay (consumer) |
Sets update rate in seconds |
60000 |
long |
oids (consumer) |
Defines which values you are interested in. Please have a look at the Wikipedia to get a better understanding. You may provide a single OID or a coma separated list of OIDs. Example: oids=1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0,1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.2.1.5.1,1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.5.1.1.1,1.3.6.1.2.1.43.5.1.1.11.1 |

public |
String |
snmpContextEngineId (consumer) |

String |
|
snmpContextName (consumer) |
Sets the context name field of this scoped PDU. |

Sets the timeout value for the request in millis. |
1500 |
int |
treeList (consumer) |
Sets the flag whether the scoped PDU will be displayed as the list if it has child elements in its tree |
false |
boolean |
type (consumer) |
Which operation to perform such as poll, trap, etc. |
SnmpActionType |
|
exceptionHandler (consumer) |
To let the consumer use a custom ExceptionHandler. Notice if the option bridgeErrorHandler is enabled then this option is not in use. By default the consumer will deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored. |
ExceptionHandler |
|
exchangePattern (consumer) |
Sets the exchange pattern when the consumer creates an exchange. |
ExchangePattern |
|
pollStrategy (consumer) |
A pluggable org.apache.camel.PollingConsumerPollingStrategy allowing you to provide your custom implementation to control error handling usually occurred during the poll operation before an Exchange have been created and being routed in Camel. |
PollingConsumerPoll Strategy |
|
synchronous (advanced) |
Sets whether synchronous processing should be strictly used, or Camel is allowed to use asynchronous processing (if supported). |
false |
boolean |
backoffErrorThreshold (scheduler) |
The number of subsequent error polls (failed due some error) that should happen before the backoffMultipler should kick-in. |
int |
|
backoffIdleThreshold (scheduler) |
The number of subsequent idle polls that should happen before the backoffMultipler should kick-in. |
int |
|
backoffMultiplier (scheduler) |
To let the scheduled polling consumer backoff if there has been a number of subsequent idles/errors in a row. The multiplier is then the number of polls that will be skipped before the next actual attempt is happening again. When this option is in use then backoffIdleThreshold and/or backoffErrorThreshold must also be configured. |
int |
|
greedy (scheduler) |
If greedy is enabled, then the ScheduledPollConsumer will run immediately again, if the previous run polled 1 or more messages. |
false |
boolean |
initialDelay (scheduler) |
Milliseconds before the first poll starts. You can also specify time values using units, such as 60s (60 seconds), 5m30s (5 minutes and 30 seconds), and 1h (1 hour). |

Spring Boot Auto-Configuration
When using Spring Boot make sure to use the following Maven dependency to have support for auto configuration:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
<artifactId>camel-snmp-starter</artifactId>
<version>x.x.x</version>
<!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>
The component supports 2 options, which are listed below.
Name | Description | Default | Type |
---|---|---|---|
camel.component.snmp.enabled |
Enable snmp component |
true |
Boolean |
camel.component.snmp.resolve-property-placeholders |

true |
Boolean |
The result of a poll
Given the situation, that I poll for the following OIDs:
OIDs
1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.2.1.5.1 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.5.1.1.1 1.3.6.1.2.1.43.5.1.1.11.1
The result will be the following:
Result of toString conversion
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<snmp>
<entry>
<oid>1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0</oid>
<value>6 days, 21:14:28.00</value>
</entry>
<entry>
<oid>1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.2.1.5.1</oid>
<value>2</value>
</entry>
<entry>
<oid>1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.5.1.1.1</oid>
<value>3</value>
</entry>
<entry>
<oid>1.3.6.1.2.1.43.5.1.1.11.1</oid>
<value>6</value>
</entry>
<entry>
<oid>1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0</oid>
<value>My Very Special Printer Of Brand Unknown</value>
</entry>
</snmp>
As you maybe recognized there is one more result than requested….1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0.
This one is filled in by the device automatically in this special case. So it may absolutely happen, that you receive more than you requested...be prepared.
OID starting with dot representation
.1.3.6.1.4.1.6527.3.1.2.21.2.1.50
As you may notice, default snmpVersion is 0 which means version1 in the endpoint if it is not set explicitly. Make sure you explicitly set snmpVersion which is not default value, of course in a case of where you are able to query SNMP tables with different versions. Other possible values are version2c and version3.
Examples
Polling a remote device:
snmp:192.168.178.23:161?protocol=udp&type=POLL&oids=1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5.0
Setting up a trap receiver (Note that no OID info is needed here!):
snmp:127.0.0.1:162?protocol=udp&type=TRAP
From Camel 2.10.0, you can get the community of SNMP TRAP with message header 'securityName',
peer address of the SNMP TRAP with message header 'peerAddress'.
Routing example in Java: (converts the SNMP PDU to XML String)
from("snmp:192.168.178.23:161?protocol=udp&type=POLL&oids=1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5.0").
convertBodyTo(String.class).
to("activemq:snmp.states");
