**Complete**:
- Backend API with token authentication
- Agent management UI
- Organization/equipment-level configuration
- **Hierarchical agent assignment** (Equipment > Site > Organization)
- Organization/site/equipment-level configuration
- Rust agent architecture (compiles successfully)
- **SNMP client fully implemented** (GET and WALK operations)
- SQLite buffering
- Docker deployment files
- 401 tests passing
🔄 **In Progress**:
- SNMP library integration (simplified implementation)
- Protocol Buffers integration for all API endpoints
- 775 tests passing
## Critical Path to Production
### 1. Complete SNMP Integration (Priority: HIGH)
### 1. Integration Testing (Priority: HIGH) ⬅️ **START HERE**
**Problem**: The Rust `snmp` crate v0.2 API differs from the initially designed implementation. Current code compiles but returns errors for actual SNMP operations.
**Options**:
#### Option A: Complete `snmp` crate integration (Recommended)
**Effort**: 4-8 hours
**File**: `towerops-agent/src/snmp/client.rs`
Research the correct `snmp` crate 0.2 API:
```bash
# In towerops-agent/
cargo doc --open --package snmp
```
Key methods to implement:
- `SyncSession::new()` - Create session
- `session.get()` or similar - Perform GET
- `session.getnext()` or similar - Perform GETNEXT (for WALK)
- Error handling for timeouts, auth failures
**Reference**: Check `snmp` crate examples and tests
#### Option B: Use alternative SNMP library
**Effort**: 6-12 hours
Alternatives:
- `snmp-mp` - More actively maintained
- `snmp-parser` - Lower level, more control
- `rasn-snmp` - ASN.1 based
Replace in `Cargo.toml` and reimplement `client.rs`.
#### Option C: Implement basic SNMP manually
**Effort**: 16-24 hours
Implement SNMPv1/v2c protocol directly:
- ASN.1 BER encoding/decoding
- UDP socket communication
- PDU construction
**Not recommended** - reinventing the wheel.
### 2. Integration Testing (Priority: HIGH)
**Prerequisites**: SNMP integration complete
**Prerequisites**: ✅ All backend code complete
**Test Environment Setup**:
1. Deploy test SNMP device (or use simulator)
