Re: how to repeatedly execute a command on a remote machine via a shh login from within a perl program capturing the output?

Depending upon how vendor implemented SNMP part for their device, other than standard OID's such as sysUptime , will have custom MIB files. You should try visiting their website for downloading required MIB file for your switch. Then import them with -m or put it under snmp path to get its OID's wo

+1 for SNMP, or if Net::SSH::Perl didn't help, can you try expect module? Cheers, Shekar On Wed, Apr 19, 2017 at 1:38 PM, lee wrote: > Duncan Ferguson writes: > > > If the temperature is available on your switch, can you not enable SNMP > on it and read the specific OID to get the info? Far

RE: how to repeatedly execute a command on a remote machine via a shh login from within a perl program capturing the output?

If the temperature is available on your switch, can you not enable SNMP on it and read the specific OID to get the info? Far far easier than trying to keep an ssh connection open, I think. I guess this does depend on the switch type and whether the info is available on the device via SNMP, tho
