What is a simple way to receive SNMP traps in Scala?

Question

I'd love it if there is an awesome native Scala library for SNMP like there is Dispatch for HTTP but I can't find one. Is there one? Baring that, should I use a Java library like SNMP4J? What I want to do is so simple that it almost seems like overkill: I just want to listen on a given port for SNMP messages (which will always be in the same format) and send them on to an actor.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Simple googling I found this http://code.google.com/p/snmpbulk/

Still requires snmp4j underneath though. And I also dont like SNMP4J but I agree with you that there are not simple alternatives. Good luck in your search.

Answer 2

I know this is a really old question, and you've probably long moved on... but I had the same problem in that I wanted to use Scala for SNMP. Well, I created my own DSL: SNMP4S. It is also built on top of SNMP4J, but I've designed the library such that there will be no compile-time linkages to SNMP4J so it can be changed out later if needed.
