The operator, reviewing SNMP on #5214: "this system looks incomplete like
there's something missing from it". The one device shown was plugin.yaml's
example (core-switch 192.168.1.1, community public), polled every minute;
devices could only be defined by editing YAML in the image; a failed poll was
logged at DEBUG and stored nowhere, so the page said "waiting for the next
poll" forever; v3 ran as v2c; counters showed as lifetime totals.
- Devices are rows (snmp_devices, migration snmp_001): address, port,
v1/v2c community or a v3 user with auth/priv protocols and keys (secrets
encrypted), presets plus custom readings, an optional host binding, and
the newest poll's outcome. The YAML device list and its example are gone.
- The SNMP page adds, edits and deletes them (admin, audited, with
get_audit_entities so the audit log names and links a device). Readings
come from presets (system uptime, interface traffic by number, UPS-MIB,
Linux net-snmp) and custom "OID name [unit]" lines.
- One GET per device with every OID, devices polled at once. The outcome is
written to the row in words ("No reply from … within 5 s. Check the address
and port, that SNMP is on, and the community"), with readings it lacks.
v1's whole-request error drops that OID and asks again. SNMPv3 signs in
with USM (MD5/SHA-1/SHA-2, DES/3DES/AES).
- Test asks the unsaved form's device for its name, description, uptime and
interfaces by number. It is an admin's explicit action; every page reads
only stored rows (System 178's ruling).
- Each reading has a unit; a counter is stored as a per-second rate (bytes as
bit/s), a reset or wrap skipped. The page, widget and host panel say values
in units and why a device is silent; the device page draws a chart per
reading on a dated axis.
Tests: readings and presets, the form and its secrets, v3 checks, rates,
the poller against a stand-in pysnmp (one GET, v1 retry, timeout wording,
USM), the pages, and an integration test of the poll writing outcomes and
rates on Postgres.

#5255 "SNMP — Devices: status in words and key readings".
- Verdict first: "All N devices answering", "ups: no reply since 14m ago",
"N of M devices not answering", or "N not polled yet".
- Devices that stopped answering come first, then those never polled, then
the rest.
- One header row: Device / Readings / Polled.
- The name is the link; the separate "detail →" is gone.
- The hollow dot is replaced by words: "no data yet", or "no reply since …;
readings are from then".
- Key readings: the first two in config order, gauges ahead of counters.
Units come from the label suffix: _centisecs as a duration, _pct, _dV as
volts, _octets as bytes total.

#5210 "Problems first, with since-time, across every list" (milestone 477),
second batch.
- Host page: an "Alerts on this host" strip first (rules on its agent
series, its containers or its monitors: alert_svc.watches_host); its
monitors problems first with "Down 12m · reason"; Docker above Ansible.
- Uptime page and widget: worst 24h uptime first, then 7d and 30d; hosts
with no uptime yet last.
- Agent panel and fleet widget: last seen as "3m ago", not a clock time.
- SNMP: a device is "Reachable" only while it answered within the last 3
polls; older readings say "No answer" with their age, and every device
says when it was last read (was: reachable whenever any reading existed).
- Traefik: a router missing from 3 scrapes in a row is listed apart as no
longer reported, by when it was last seen, instead of keeping its last
state (a removed router stayed Failing).

Traefik: routers are graded from their latest scrape (router_state: crit on
any real 5xx share, warn on p95 past the latency critical cutoff or a high
4xx share). Failing and slow routers lead as cards that say why; healthy
ones fold into one table that stays open or shut across polls. Proxy
counts are stat tiles; certificates are graded by Settings -> Thresholds
(tls_days).
UniFi: WAN health is a stat strip (latency graded by the thresholds),
devices carry status dots, event categories and firewall actions are
badges, the alarm count reuses .count-badge (renamed from .nav-count).
SNMP: each device wears a status badge and its readings are stat tiles.
Agent fleet: the table comes first, with a Status column (Reporting /
Silent / Never reported, by the host page's stale_after_seconds), silent
agents first, hosts linked, last seen as |ago.
Audit: entries name their entity (one query per type, steward/audit/
service.py) and link it; something deleted since keeps the name its entry
recorded and says "(deleted)".
Tokens: charts read colours through chart-colors.js (stewardColor resolves
a token to the rgb the browser computed; Chart.js defaults take the page's
text and border colours), so host, history, Traefik and SNMP charts drop
their hex. Template hex colours reach 0 (HEX_CEILING = 0), the last rgba
pills go, and heavy weights (600/700/bold, 60 of them) become 500, the
house pair being 400/500; a guard keeps templates there.

A fresh SnmpEngine() was created on every poll_device() call and never
closed. pysnmp opens a UDP transport socket per engine and doesn't release
it on GC, so each scheduler tick (default 60s, per device) leaked a file
descriptor. Over hours of polling the process hit its fd ceiling and the
listening socket could no longer accept connections — OSError: [Errno 24]
Too many open files on socket.accept(), locking up the app.
Wrap the engine in try/finally and release its transport socket via a new
_close_engine() helper that probes both pysnmp API shapes (6.2.x lextudio
camelCase, canonical 7.x snake_case); all close paths are best-effort so a
failed close never breaks the poll loop. Regression tests cover both shapes
and the never-raises contract.

SNMP devices map onto a Steward host's detail page via _devices_for_host,
which previously matched the device's `host` field (the SNMP poll target)
against the Host's address/name — a coincidence of strings that breaks when
the poll target differs from how the Host is recorded.
Add two optional per-device config fields that decouple the binding from the
poll target:
• host_id — exact Steward Host UUID match (the explicit link)
• steward_host — friendly bind by Host name or address (case-insensitive)
An explicit binding is exclusive: a device bound to host A never implicitly
matches host B by a coincidental address. No explicit binding → existing
implicit `host`-string match (fully backward compatible).
host_panel passes host.id and badges explicitly-bound devices. plugin.yaml
documents the new fields. Tests cover explicit id/name, exclusivity, wrong
uuid, and legacy fallback.

SNMP devices are config-defined by IP/hostname, not Steward Host records, so
they had no presence on a host's page. Map them by address and embed a fragment
(mirrors the Docker per-host fragment).
- _devices_for_host(devices_cfg, address, name): case-insensitive match of a
device's configured host to the Steward host's address or name (tolerates
non-dict / host-less entries).
- Route /plugins/snmp/host/<id>: renders the matched device(s) + latest readings,
or nothing when none map (so hosts without SNMP carry no empty card).
- snmp/host_panel.html: per-device card (name · address · reachability) with a
readings grid (K/M scaling) and a History link to the full device page.
- hosts/detail.html embeds it after the Docker fragment, gated on snmp enabled.
- Unit test for the matching helper (by address, by name, no-match, blank).

The SNMP plugin ships in the image but logged "pysnmp not installed — SNMP
polling disabled" on every poll, so polling never worked. Two coupled defects:
1. The Dockerfile installed only `.[ansible]`, so the `snmp` extra (pysnmp)
was never bundled even though the plugin is first-party and shipped.
2. poller.py used the synchronous pysnmp HLAPI (`next(getCmd(...))`), which
pysnmp-lextudio 6.x removed — it's asyncio-only now — so even with the dep
present, polling would have thrown and silently returned nothing. The 5.x
line that still has the sync API isn't safe on the image's Python 3.13.
Fix:
- Dockerfile: install `.[ansible,snmp]`.
- poller.py: `poll_device_sync` → `async def poll_device` on the asyncio HLAPI,
with a dual-version import (pysnmp 7.x `pysnmp.hlapi.v3arch.asyncio`/`get_cmd`
+ async `UdpTransportTarget.create`; pysnmp-lextudio 6.2.x
`pysnmp.hlapi.asyncio`/`getCmd` + direct `UdpTransportTarget`) so a dependency
bump can't silently re-break it.
- scheduler.py: await poll_device directly; drop the run_in_executor wrapper
and the now-unused asyncio import.
- Add tests/plugins/snmp/test_poller.py covering the version→mpModel mapping,
that the poller is a coroutine, and the graceful no-pysnmp path.
Note: CI confirms import/load and the no-pysnmp path, but has no SNMP target —
live polling against real devices is verified after deploy.
