    Had to get some metrics out of an old Cisco box that weren’t available through SNMP, and the only solution I could come up with was to periodically SSH some commands and regex the results.

    That required way too much shell-foo and the SSH daemon would just randomly refuse/drop connections.

    If only there was some kind of standard metric API that every other modern software supports out of the box…
