Fedora 30 introduces net-snmp version 5.9, fixing buffer overflows and improving system monitoring capabilities.

Summary

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol used for

network management. The NET-SNMP project includes various SNMP tools:

an extensible agent, an SNMP library, tools for requesting or setting

information from SNMP agents, tools for generating and handling SNMP

traps, a version of the netstat command which uses SNMP, and a Tk/Perl

mib browser. This package contains the snmpd and snmptrapd daemons,

documentation, etc.

You will probably also want to install the net-snmp-utils package,

which contains NET-SNMP utilities.
