SNMP support

Hello

I am the author of NetHorus, a Network Management System written in Ruby, using Rails, and originally written in PHP/perl.

There are several limitations in Ruby's SNMP support, most notably in MIB parsing. For anything but simple single-OID GETs, this is is a significant problem. MIB files contain, amongst other things:

  * Structure information about table constructs
  * Syntax information for returned OIDs (units, enumerations etc.)
  * Descriptions of OIDs

Is anyone working on enriching the SNMP support to include MIB intelligence, possibly using the existing libsnmp from Net-SNMP?

Peter
