SNMP Network Device Connector
Bring your network infrastructure into the same platform as your production data. The OAS SNMP Connector reads and writes the objects of any SNMP agent - the management interface built into network switches, routers, UPS and PDU cards, printers, and thousands of other devices.
With support for SNMP v1, v2c, and secure SNMPv3, automatic device discovery, and real-time trap handling, the OAS SNMP driver turns interface traffic, link status, UPS battery charge, and device health into live tags you can log, alarm on, visualize, and share.
Access SNMP Data Anywhere
Monitor the health of the network that your automation systems depend on, right alongside your PLC and process data.
Every SNMP agent holds its values in a tree of numbered objects, each identified by an OID. Each OAS tag reads one object - such as an interface's traffic counter or a UPS battery's charge - and the driver polls them in batches, using as few requests as the agent will accept. Traps sent by the device update tags between polls, so an event such as an interface going down reaches OAS without waiting for the next scan.
You don't need to know a device's OIDs to get started: discover the device on your network, pick the standard tags it supports, and start collecting data in minutes.
SNMP Data Integration
Bridge IT infrastructure data with your OT and enterprise systems.
Once SNMP values are in OAS, they are standard tags available to OPC UA clients, MQTT, REST, and .NET applications. Use Data Route to transfer them to other devices, databases, and cloud IoT platforms without writing code.
Integrate with SCADA, MES, ERP, and cloud platforms while maintaining real-time visibility into the network that connects your operations.

Built for IT/OT convergence, the OAS SNMP driver brings network and power infrastructure data into your industrial applications.
Broad Device Support
Connect to any device with an SNMP agent, including managed switches, routers, firewalls, UPS and PDU cards, printers, and environmental sensors.
SNMP v1, SNMP v2c, and SNMPv3
Use v2c or v3 for 64-bit counters that keep traffic data accurate on high-speed links.
Automatic Discovery & Tag Creation
Scan a subnet to find SNMP agents and fill in the address, version, and credentials automatically. Then let OAS read the device and offer the standard tags it supports - interface status and traffic, system information, CPU, UPS, and printer values - and create the ones you choose. The built-in OID browser walks the agent using standard MIBs and any vendor MIB files you add.
Real-Time Traps & Informs
Listen for the traps a device sends when something happens. A trap immediately updates any tag whose OID it carries, then the driver re-polls every tag so the rest of the values catch up. Informs are acknowledged automatically, and traps are only accepted from the configured device and credentials.
Secure Communications
Use SNMPv3 users with MD5 or SHA authentication and DES or AES privacy to authenticate and encrypt every request. Community strings are supported for v1 and v2c devices, with separate read and write credentials.
Read & Write
Write to any writable object just like any other OAS tag. Values are sent as SNMP SETs with the type the agent expects and read back once the device accepts them. If a device refuses a write, the reason is shown in the Write dialog and recorded in System Errors.
Reliability
Tune request size, timeouts, and retries for slower agents. Ensure uptime with automated failover to a second agent address that uses the same version and credentials when the primary stops answering.
Common Use Cases
OAS turns SNMP device data into actionable information for operations, maintenance, and IT teams.
Log SNMP Data to Databases and CSV Files
Record bandwidth usage, port status, CPU load, and UPS battery levels to SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and others. Trigger logging based on events, value changes, or continuous polling to build a historical record of your network and power infrastructure. Learn more.
Alarm on Network and Power Events
Raise alarms and send notifications when a switch port goes down, a link becomes saturated, or a UPS switches to battery.
With trap support, critical events reach operators as they happen rather than at the next poll. Learn more.
