SNMP is pretty much the gold standard for network monitoring and management. You can use bulkget and bulkwalk to reduce the number of queries. Personally I find APIs to be a PITA for the SOH monitoring I do. Verbose returns choke limited bandwidth networks and each API is proprietary and requires dev time and integration. With SNMP you look at the MIB, figure out what you want and use your tool to get it. In that respect it is quite simple. Thanks for the Python lesson!

Even though this is a RouterOS tutorial, I would like to note that there are at least two usecases where using SNMP is viable outside of legacy setups:
1. When using SwOS devices (SNMP support but no API)
2. When using devices from other manufacturers

Really nice feature. Can possibly use to query downstream devices, such as PDU's. Then send it to your db for monitoring .

Good 👍, I've already done it before via custom API with Node.JS 😀
