There is a team (Josh Tolley, me and Hiroshi Saito) working for RFC 1697 compliance. When that's done, there are some other additions in the pipeline. There's been a rewrite of several things since 0.1b1, and what we have now is not ready for production use. But it will be :-) //Magnus

Yes, it is. There have been a number of commits recently and I believe Josh(?) is giving a talk about it at pgCon. Regards, Dave

Since the RFC's MIB is designed to apply to *any* database, it doesn't cover lots of the specific statistics a pgsql person would likely want to see, so after the RFC work is done we'll be adding a pgsql-specific MIB.. - Josh Tolley

I might be interested in contributing to this effort, if not with code then at least with discussion and testing. I'm currently using MRTG to execute Perl scripts that query the statistics views and I've been thinking about rewriting those scripts to be AgentX subagents so they'd be queryable via SNMP. -- Michael Fuhr

FYI, the MySQL folks want to talk to you about maybe lobbying to change the RFC. They feel that an awful lot of RFC1697 is Oracle-specific, and are wondering if we can do anything about it. Anyway, if you want to ping them, Brian Aker <brian@mysql.com>. -- --Josh Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco

I've had brief discussions with a Mark Atwood, IIRC, who's working on the MySQL implementation. I'll drop them a line, and cc pgsnmpd-devel. Thanks. - Josh Tolley
