Bug 685763

2. What is the nature and description of the request?
Being able to get piranha events via SNMP. In particular, for the services status to be available via SNMP queries.

This is similar to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=660324 but
targeted at LVS/piranha instead of rgmanager.

   3. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)

- Customer intends to deploy LVS installations at Telecom operators in the coming years.
- RHEL LVS partially replaces load-balancing appliances that do have SNMP capabilities (e.g. Cisco 1150x).
- Lack of manageability will eventually be the cause of service outage.
- Service availability for an SMSC or MMSC will incur hourly costs of (depending on the customer) between US$ 20K and US$ 250K.
- SNMP manageability is seen as enterprise-grade functionality.
- Lack of SNMP manageability will reduce the number of places where customer can utilize Red Hat based load balancing and will have to use appliances, resulting in additional cost for customer, and thus, reduced income as we need to stay competitive. How often this will occur is unclear but the not having SNMP will prevent LVS from being deployed at several large customers who demand SNMP functionality.

   4. How would the customer like to achieve this? (List the functional requirements here)
N/A

   5. For each functional requirement listed in question 4, specify how Red Hat and the customer can test to confirm the requirement is successfully implemented.
Unknown

   6. Is there already an existing RFE upstream or in Red Hat bugzilla?
Similar to 660324

   7. How quickly does this need resolved? (desired target release)
"""Not having it now is acceptable but it must be a scheduled feature for the not-too-distant future."""
RHEL6.1 is a good candidate.

   8. Does this request meet the RHEL Inclusion criteria (please review)
Yes

   9. List the affected packages
Unsure

  10. Would the customer be able to assist in testing this functionality if implemented?
Unknown.
