the future of SNMP

[ post by non-subscriber.  with the massive amount of spam, it is easy to miss
  and therefore delete posts by non-subscribers.  if you wish to regularly
  post from an address that is not subscribed to this mailing list, send a
  message to <listname>[email protected] and ask to have the alternate
  address added to the list of addresses from which submissions are
  automatically accepted. ]

I certainly intend to continue SNMP into the future.  Given that systems
administrators are being asked to monitor more servers, especially
rack-mounted server farms, we really aren't left any choice in the matter.

As SNMP is cross-platform, a vendor specific methodology is not going to
work.

I would like to see expansion of existing MIBS.  I am current working on
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB.
