Every system administrator has stumbled upon SNMP, or will sooner or later. I personally despise SNMP, which is very unfortunate considering how popular she is. With mod_snmp you can map SNMP OID's into State's value tree. You define basic structure of the State value tree and for each node you place a simple OID inside. It's pretty simple, although we plan on improving things and making them more flexible. Our goal is to make SNMP values appear the same as standard State values, which they do, but there's still more to be done in the area of configuration.
