Title: SNMP for Users, not Programmers
Product review: Essential SNMP didn't quite hit the nail for me.I needed introductory documentation on the design of MIB files and the implementation of agents, but this book provides more of a quick overview of the usage of SNMP from the perspective of a network manager.There are lots of basic examples on data collection, but researching on the internet helped me much more than this book. Especially the Net-SNMP website covers much of the internal workings of the SNMP protocol and the advanced usage of OIDs, like tables, octet string indexes and multiple indexes. But I still had to search and experiment a lot before finding the relevant information.
