+
+
+## Description
+
+Arborist is a monitoring toolkit that follows the UNIX philosophy
+of small parts and loose coupling for stability, reliability, and
+customizability.
+
+This adds SNMP support to Arborist's monitoring, for things such as:
+
+ - Disk space capacity
+ - System load
+ - Free memory
+ - Swap in use
+ - Running process checks
+
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+* Ruby 2.2 or better
+
+
+## Installation
+
+    $ gem install arborist-snmp
+
+
+## Usage
+
+In this example, we've created a resource node under an existing host, like so:
+
+	Arborist::Host( 'example' ) do
+		description "Example host"
+		address     '10.6.0.169'
+		resource 'load', description: 'machine load'
+	end
+
+
+From a monitor file, require this library, and create an snmp instance.
+You can reuse a single instance, or create individual ones per monitor.
+
+
+	require 'arborist/monitor/snmp'
+
+	Arborist::Monitor '5 minute load average check' do
+		every 30.seconds
+		match type: 'resource', category: 'load'
+		include_down true
+		use :addresses
+
+		snmp = Arborist::Monitor::SNMP.new( mode: 'load', load_error_at: 10 )
+		exec( snmp )
+	end
+
+Please see the rdoc for all the mode types and error_at options.
