snmpdf - display disk space usage on a network entity via SNMP
Contents
Description
snmpdf is simply a networked version of the typical df command. It checks the disk space on the remote
machine by examining the HOST-RESOURCES-MIB's hrStorageTable or the UCD-SNMP-MIB's dskTable. By default,
the hrStorageTable is preferred as it typically contains more information. However, the -Cu argument can
be passed to snmpdf to force the usage of the dskTable.
AGENT identifies a target SNMP agent, which is instrumented to monitor the given objects. At its
simplest, the AGENT specification will consist of a hostname or an IPv4 address. In this situation, the
command will attempt communication with the agent, using UDP/IPv4 to port 161 of the given target host.
See the snmpcmd(1) manual page for a full list of the possible formats for AGENT.
See the snmpd.conf(5) manual page on setting up the dskTable using the disk directive in the snmpd.conf
file.

Options
COMMONOPTIONS
Please see snmpcmd(1) for a list of possible values for COMMON OPTIONS as well as their
descriptions.
-Cu Forces the command to use dskTable in mib UCD-SNMP-MIB instead of the default to determine the
storage information. Generally, the default use of hrStorageTable in mib HOST-RESOURCES-MIB is
preferred because it typically contains more information.
-Ch Print sizes in human readable format (i.e. MiB, GiB, TiB)
-CH Print sizes in human readable SI format (i.e. MB, GB, TB)
