So, 4 years later, and SNMP is still alive and well. It has (a lot of) rough edges, but it works, is ubiquitous and all sysadmins know how to work with it. Not even such a bad standard once you get used to it. I can't imagine anyone running a (smallish, not G-size) corporate network without it.

It ticks all the boxes except for security.

I'm not sure how to get past that one without pushing a private key or a shared secret onto each managed device (maybe with SNMP SET?).

If you're polling a device you can put wrieguard on, not a problem. If you're not, wireguard to a device on the same LAN and ACL off SNMP traffic at the router.

It helps that it’s been around forever.
