I’m excited to announce a new version of our free EventSentry SysAdmin Tools which, in addition to bug fixes and minor improvements, also includes a new command-line tool: snmptool. This brings the total number of utilities in the toolkit to thirty (30)!
Free SNMP tools for Windows® are not easy to find and often require you to memorize the various OIDs in order to test a remote host’s SNMP functionality, or to get useful information back.
Our free snmptool utility solves that problem by giving you a simple utility which downloads a variety of stats, depending on what the remote host provides via SNMP, and displays it to the user. For example, if you are querying a VMWare® ESXi™ host with the snmptool, it will – among other stats – enumerate all VMs configure on the host, whereas it will display switch port mappings when querying a switch.
The snmptool currently retrieves the following:
- System Description string
- Operating System
- Uptime
- Current CPU usage
- Network interfaces (name, MAC address, IP if available)
- Mounted disks
- Running processes
- Virtual Machines (ESXi™ only)
- Switch port mappings
Running the utility is incredibly easy, simply specify the SNMP credentials and the remote host, and the utility will do the rest on its own:

The output is completely dynamic, if no processes are found (e.g. you are querying a switch) then that section will simply be omitted.
In addition to the brand new snmptool, version 2.2.0.1 of the EventSentry SysAdmin Tools includes the following other improvements:
Purgetemp
Added the new /a parameter which checks the target folder against a pattern for additional safety
Checkurl
Added support for authenticating against a login page, including login pages which redirect
I hope the new utility and other improvements will help make your job easier. Oh, and you can download the EventSentry SysAdmin Tools here.
