I'd like to be able to write custom SNMP probes that will monitor things on a per-interface basis.

Right now the only way to do this is to hard-code the ifIndex into the probe. Plus, you need to add a device for each interface you want to monitor the "extra" variables on. This is fine for one or two things, but gets out of hand quickly when you're monitoring a lot of interfaces.

I'd like to propose that there be some sort of interface plug-in probe architecture. Basically a subset of the normal probe files that are applied to every interface on a device. Something along the lines of display SNMP variable X for every ifIndex.

These could be enabled/disabled per device and/or interface. Each plug-in would append it's output to the end of the previous one, so you'd end up with a larger interface information window. Or you could possibly have each plug-in display its output on an individual tab.

Along the same lines, I'd like to see support for the RFC1406 MIB - so I can get more information about my devices with integrated CSU/DSU's.

Thoughts?
