Thank you for the reply. The intention was to have a single interface to view all activity in the system, rather than log into each machine and read the log files of each service. I spend lot of time debugging the system and it would help people like me.

I don't think SNMP would be appropriate.   For one thing SNMPv1/v2c are highly insecure, and SNMPv3 isn't widely used due to its security complexity.
A better choice might be protocols such CIM or rsyslog.  What kind of data are you interested in monitoring?  You can probably already do what you need without adding a new protocol.

Hi,

Please reply with your suggestions on building support for all Openstack services to send SNMP traps rather than only logging to files. Wouldn't it make debugging and monitoring easier.

Is there any project working on this as of now?

What would be the best strategy to integrate with existing services without disturbing the core.

Thank you,
Ageeleshwar K
