About SNMP Inspector
SNMP Inspector is an iPhone and iPad app for the person who installs and checks network gear on site. Vladimir Chemeris, an independent developer, builds it.
The port comes first
At the rack you need to know whether the port is up, whether its errors are growing and whether your work fixed it. SNMP Inspector opens a device on its overview and its ports, and keeps the MIB browser one level down for the times you need a raw walk.
For a site visit you start a job. You capture the switch before you touch it and after you finish, and the app gives each changed port a verdict you can hand to the customer as a PDF.
The rules it keeps
- Read-only. The app has no SNMP SET operation and never writes to a device.
- No server of ours in the path. The phone talks to your devices over UDP 161. Communities and SNMPv3 passwords stay in the iOS Keychain on the device.
- Screens show what the device answered. The app shows a timeout as a timeout, names a table the agent doesn't serve, and marks a counter reset after an agent restart instead of drawing a traffic spike.
- One purchase. You pay once. There is no subscription and nothing to buy inside the app.
- This site describes the current build. The developer writes these pages from the app's code, its screens and the tests it passes on real devices.
