I don't think SNMP support has much value in an of itself, but it has the advantage of being easy to integrate with existing big-name monitoring tools such as CA Unicenter. > Second, implementing SNMP support in a portable way is unfortunately the > same as implementing all of SNMP, there are no agreed on portable > API's for implementing SNMP.

One cheap way of doing it would be to write a bsnmpd plugin that reads and exports information from the shared memory stats segment. It would work out of the box on FreeBSD (provided you enable bsnmpd); on other systems, you'd have to port bsnmpd first. Still, it's probably not something we're interested in doing without a sponsor.
