    • general foreboding, no extensive good ideas on where to go in part because many things feel fairly "complete" and extensions/modules are all that is missing
    • easy to use client side APIs could use improvement
    • syslog/SNMP mappings (being standardized) would be a good thing to look at
  • Other thoughts:
    • disman alarm MIB
    • rmon
    • help instrument other packages
    • easy wrapped main library couters and generic interface
      • lib: increment_counter(NETSNMP_COUNTER_NOSUCHCONTEXT)
      • agent: register_counter(NETSNMP_COUNTER_NOSUCHCONTEXT)
    • Restructuring library code
      • discussion surrounding
