## What it is
GoSNMP is an SNMP client library fully written in Go, supporting SNMPv1, v2c, and v3 with operations like Get, Walk, Set, and Trap send/receive. It works over IPv4 and IPv6 and is maintained by the community.

## Use cases
- query snmp oids from network devices in go
- walk snmp mib subtrees to collect metrics
- send and receive snmp traps in go
- monitor routers and switches via snmpv3
- build a network management station in go

## When to choose
- you need SNMP support in a Go application
- you need SNMPv3 authentication and privacy
- you want a pure-Go dependency with no C bindings

## When to avoid
- you need MIB file parsing or translation built in
- you are working outside Go

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: networking, monitoring, developer-tools
- domain: networking, monitoring, developer-tools
- platform: go, cross-platform
- tags: snmp, snmpv3, network-monitoring, traps, go-library, linux
