snmp-taskbar puts the health of my network where I'll actually glance at it: the taskbar. It polls SNMP-capable gear — switches, routers, UPSes — and surfaces the metrics I care about as a small, always-visible readout instead of something I have to go dig for in a dashboard.

It's a scratch-my-own-itch utility born from wanting to notice a saturated link or a struggling device *before* it becomes a problem.
