## What it is
Snap is an open telemetry framework by Intel for collecting, processing, and publishing system metrics through a single plugin-based API. It supports clustered control of telemetry workflows across small and large deployments.

## Use cases
- collect system metrics from servers
- process and filter telemetry data on agents
- publish metrics to storage backends
- manage telemetry workflows across a cluster
- build custom telemetry collector plugins

## When to choose
- you need a plugin-based metrics collection framework and are willing to maintain a fork yourself

## When to avoid
- you need maintained, supported software - the project is discontinued with known security escapes
- you want active community patches or new releases
- starting a new monitoring stack - use alternatives like Prometheus or Telegraf

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: abandoned
- function: monitoring, plugin-system
- domain: monitoring, self-hosted
- platform: windows, go, cross-platform
- tags: telemetry, metrics-collection, discontinued, plugins, devops, linux, macos
