restful-snmp provides a handy way to query SNMP via a HTTP.

To install:

$ go get github.com/unprofession-al/restful-snmp

To run:

$ RS_LISTEN=0.0.0.0 RS_PORT=3030 /path/to/restful-snmp

To issue a SNMP GET, fetch the API like so:

$ curl -X GET http://server:port/[device_to_query]/[oid_to_fetch]

Where [device_to_query] is an IP address or an FQDN of a device (eg. a switch, router etc.) that runs an SNMP agent and [oid_to_fetch] is the OID that should be queried.

The response in case of a successful SNMP GET query comes as a HTTP 200 containing JSON of the following schema:

{
    Name: ".1.3.6.1.4.1.6.3.16.1.1.1.1.4.49.51.51.52",
    Type: 4,
    Value: "1334"
}

If you only care about the value just append only_value=true to the value string.

The community that is used by default is public. To specify an custom community specify the name via query string:

$ curl -X GET http://server:port/[device_to_query]/[oid_to_fetch]?community=[community_name]
