Can anyone provide more detailed steps? I have a plain text MIB file, PowerNet-MIB.mib. I converted it to PowerNet-MIB.py, using the command: build-pysnmp-mib -o PowerNet-MIB.py PowerNet-MIB.mib. Then I created a python EGG after scouring over the internet. I can't post the link to the site because I don't have enough Karma to include links. But if you include http and www on the front of this:
blog.pythonlibrary.org/2012/07/12/python-101-easy_install-or-how-to-create-eggs/
One thing to note, I had to follow directions to create a package, by creating an empty init.py. Without this file in the directory structure; the EGG did not include my PowerNet-MIB.py. Now I have an EGG and inside of that EGG SOURCES.txt lists: PowerNet-MIB/PowerNet-MIB.py. When I drop the EGG ini /snmp_ta/bin, and then try to use PowerNet-MIB for MIB names in the modular input. I get the following errors in Splunkd.log.
ERROR ExecProcessor - message from "python /Applications/splunk/etc/apps/snmp_ta/bin/snmp.py" pysnmp.smi.error.SmiError: MIB file "PowerNet-MIB.py[co]" not found in search path
Help? I have been looking at this off and on for a week. Is it possible that we can just drop PowerNet-MIB.py files into this app in the future? How am I packaging this up wrong?
