SNMP to MQTT gateway

Need to connect SNMP and MQTT? The Weble WBox routes SNMP MQTT natively: one gateway speaks both protocols and maps data points in real time — no PC, no middleware, no cloud dependency.

The protocols

SNMP

SNMP (v1, v2c, v3) monitors network and technical infrastructure — UPS units, switches, servers, IP sensors — by reading OIDs and receiving traps.

SNMP driver →

MQTT

MQTT is the lightweight publish/subscribe protocol used by IoT devices and cloud brokers.

Typical use case

Distributed technical rooms — network cabinets, UPS units, remote sites — report by SNMP, and the monitoring platform lives in the cloud. The WBox turns each site's SNMP landscape into MQTT telemetry: states and measurements arrive on structured topics, feeding dashboards and alerting without a VPN into every site.

Example deployment

Typical scenario Unified infrastructure monitoring over MQTT Scattered IP equipment (switches, UPS units, gateways) is polled over SNMP by the WBox — OID discovery via Walk, traps as they arrive — and every metric is published as JSON to the company MQTT broker, alongside the building data.

How the WBox bridges SNMP and MQTT

The SNMP driver polls the configured OIDs (v1, v2c or v3) and receives traps locally; the MQTT driver publishes each value as JSON on your topic tree, TLS-encrypted to the broker with QoS per topic. A trap — a lost link, a UPS on battery — can be published immediately rather than waiting for the next poll. The SNMP side is read-only (no SET), so monitoring never interferes with the equipment.

Capacity & limits

SNMP — SNMP polls any number of IP agents (v1, v2c, v3) and receives traps; the driver is read-only — it never writes to your equipment.
MQTT — MQTT imposes no point limit — topics scale with your broker and network.

On the WBox, a driver licence enables the whole protocol — there is no artificial per-point tier to unlock. Capacity scales with the gateway model, from the compact S103 to the E413: you are bounded by the field bus, not by your licence.

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect SNMP and MQTT?

SNMP is the IP equipment monitoring protocol and MQTT is the lightweight IoT publish/subscribe protocol. A single WBox gateway runs the SNMP and MQTT drivers, speaks both protocols at once and maps the data points between them — no PC, no middleware, no cloud dependency.
