Msg from function block

General
1

Hello. I have been using net-snmp inside a function node to get some snmpv3 information.

I thanks to some help earlier I was able to get it to send the message with the information I need.

I am wanting to use a switch node though to send the information like temp, voltage, ect to different nodes but I am unable to get it to work. I have 0 js knowledge so i am finding it hard. Hoping somebody can point me in the right direction.

Here is what I have so far.

var user = {
name: "********",
level: snmp.SecurityLevel.authPriv,
authProtocol: snmp.AuthProtocols.md5,
authKey: "**********",
privProtocol: snmp.PrivProtocols.aes,
privKey: "********"
};

var session = snmp.createV3Session ("***.***.***.***", user);

var oids = ["*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*", "*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*"];

session.get (oids, function (error, varbinds) {
    if (error) {
        console.error (error);
    } else {
        for (var i = 0; i < varbinds.length; i++) {
            if (snmp.isVarbindError (varbinds[i])) {
                console.error (snmp.varbindError (varbinds[i]));
            } else {
                msg.payload.temp = varbinds[0].value;
                msg.payload.current= varbinds[1].value
                msg.payload.voltage = varbinds[2].value
node.send(msg)
            }
        }
    }
    session.close ();
});

Thanks.

In your function node click setup, set outputs to 3

var varbinds = [1,2,3];

var first = {payload: varbinds[0]};
var second = {payload: varbinds[1]};
var last = {payload: varbinds[2]};

return [first,second,last];

If you had used the code I gave you in your other post, you would see I pushed the oid into the topic.

Then after the function, you can simply use a switch node to route the message based on msg.topic

Yes I started to play with this at home where I have some more freedom and realised I was to blame for it not working and had my switch node wrong.

Is there a way to push a list in order instead of the oid? So for them oid have it make the topic Temperature?

Thanks again for your help.

var session = snmp.createV3Session ("10.20.155.10", user);

var nastemp = "1.3.6.1.4.1.6574.1.2.0";
var hddtemp1 = "1.3.6.1.4.1.6574.2.1.1.6.0";
var hddtemp2 = "1.3.6.1.4.1.6574.2.1.1.6.1";
var hddtemp3 = "1.3.6.1.4.1.6574.2.1.1.6.2";
var hddtemp4 = "1.3.6.1.4.1.6574.2.1.1.6.3";
var hddtemp5 = "1.3.6.1.4.1.6574.2.1.1.6.4";
var pwrstatus = "1.3.6.1.4.1.6574.1.3.0";

var oids = [nastemp, hddtemp1, hddtemp2, hddtemp3, hddtemp4, hddtemp5, pwrstatus];

session.get (oids, function (error, varbinds) {
    if (error) {
        console.error (error);
    } else {
        for (var i = 0; i < varbinds.length; i++) {
            if (snmp.isVarbindError (varbinds[i])) {
                console.error (snmp.varbindError (varbinds[i]));
            } else {
                msg.payload = varbinds[i].value;
                msg.topic = varbinds[i].oid;
                node.send(msg)
            }
        }
    }
    session.close ();
});

@jonkers71 fyi

I have updated the node-red-node to v1.0.0 complete with snmpve support. You might want to give that a go?

I'd appreciate the feedback

Thanks.

@Steve-Mcl

Have just done a little testing with it. Seems to work very well.

I need to learn more so I can help with this stuff.
