[Proftpd-devel] Anyone interested in trying out an SNMP module for proftpd?

[TJ Saunders]

I just finished an initial attempt at a mod_snmp module for proftpd; it's
available at:

http://www.castaglia.org/proftpd/modules/proftpd-mod-snmp-0.0.tar.gz
http://www.castaglia.org/proftpd/modules/mod_snmp.html

And I'd love to hear your thoughts/feedback on whether this module meets
any SNMP/monitoring needs...

The idea was that NMS like Zabbix, Cacti, collectd, Nagios, etc could use
this SNMP monitoring capability to get proftpd data into the mix.

Cheers,
TJ

By the way, I've started using GitHub for hosting some of my personal
proftpd modules, including mod_snmp:

https://github.com/Castaglia/proftpd-mod_snmp

Feel free to pull the source code, pick up the latest versions, submit
patches/fixes, etc via git for these.

Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes;
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

I wouldn't be able to compare sourceforge vs. github, but github has
impressed me mightily. One guy stuck a node.js module out there to
satisfy his initial needs, and then I did 4 pull requests in a row: a
memory leak that resulted from another component, then adding tests,
adding large-file support, then adding some functionality I needed
and more tests. Making it easy to contribute - priceless.

Thank you!
