Erlang/OTP has one of the best SNMP stacks out there, certainly in the 
open-source world. So equipping RabbitMQ with SNMP support should be 
straightforward technically, but it hasn't been done yet. The main 
challenge is defining a MIB, which for a relatively complex product like 
RabbitMQ takes a fair amount of time. If there are any SNMP/MIB gurus 
out there we'd definitely appreciate some help here - a good starting 
point would be to try to come up with a MIB that can represent all the 
information accessible via rabbitmqctl.
