I don't know enough about it to know if it will be useful to me. I'm an old hardware guy and I've been Admin'ing my own systems for many years. I am having a hard time finding pertinent documentation. I know one of the ports allows you to monitor the cpu, memory, etc. I already have a Superkaramba theme that has a StarTrek gauge for cpu, memory, swap, network in, network out, etc. I just want to know if SNMP has anything to offer me...
