System and method for customizing Logstash SNMP input plugin

A system for customizing a Logstash SNMP input plugin to work in an IPv6 environment, comprising:

• a memory storing computer-readable instructions;
• and
• a processor connected to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to execute the computer-readable instructions to:
• debug a cloned copy of a Logstash SNMP Input Plugin to identify modifications to make to the cloned copy of the Logstash SNMP Input Plugin to enable operation in an IPv6 environment;
• update the cloned copy of the Logstash SNMP Input Plugin to implement the modifications to enable operation in the IPv6 environment;
• recompile the updated cloned copy of the Logstash SNMP Input Plugin to generate a custom SNMP Input Plugin;
• install the custom SNMP Input Plugin into Logstash;
• deploy and test Logstash in the IPv6 environment with the custom SNMP Input Plugin installed;
• in response to the deploying and testing determining that Logstash works in the IPv6 environment with the custom SNMP Input Plugin installed, release Logstash with the custom SNMP Input Plugin installed for use in the IPv6 environment;
• and
• in response to the deploying and testing determining Logstash has issues with SNMP in the IPv6 environment, debug the custom SNMP Input Plugin to identify one or more additional classes and methods of the custom SNMP Input Plugin causing the custom SNMP Input Plugin to not work in the IPv6 environment.

A non-transitory computer-readable media having computer-readable instructions stored thereon, which when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• debugging a cloned copy of a Logstash SNMP Input Plugin to identify modifications to make to the cloned copy of the Logstash SNMP Input Plugin to enable operation in an IPv6 environment;
• updating the cloned copy of the Logstash SNMP Input Plugin to implement the modifications to enable operation in the IPv6 environment;
• recompiling the updated cloned copy of the Logstash SNMP Input Plugin to generate a custom SNMP Input Plugin;
• installing the custom SNMP Input Plugin into Logstash;
• deploying and testing Logstash in the IPv6 environment with the custom SNMP Input Plugin installed;
• in response to the deploying and testing determining that Logstash works in the IPv6 environment with the custom SNMP Input Plugin installed, releasing Logstash with the custom SNMP Input Plugin installed for use in the IPv6 environment;
• and
• in response to the deploying and testing determining Logstash has issues with SNMP in the IPv6 environment, debugging the custom SNMP Input Plugin to identify additional one or more classes and methods of the custom SNMP Input Plugin causing the custom SNMP Input Plugin to not work in the IPv6 environment.
