Nouha Manai contributed to the DataDog/datadog-agent repository by building and refining backend features focused on SNMP device scanning, metadata handling, and agent stability. She implemented real-time device scan status notifications and refactored profile metadata to support future enhancements, using Go for backend and system programming. Her work included integrating the SNMP scan module into the agent runtime, enabling enhanced network visibility, and introducing scan type differentiation for more granular telemetry. Nouha also addressed reliability by disabling default SNMP scans to prevent device crashes and refactored agent metadata structures for type safety, improving test reliability and maintainability across the codebase.

February 2026: Delivered a type-safe HaAgentMetadata struct refactor in DataDog/datadog-agent, replacing the prior map-based approach to enforce state field validation and improve test reliability. Accompanied by a targeted test fix to address flaky tests, boosting CI stability and confidence in the metadata handling path.

January 2026: Focused on stabilizing SNMP monitoring in DataDog/datadog-agent by disabling the default SNMP device scan to prevent crashes on Extreme Network switches. Updated configuration and tests to ensure correct behavior with the default scan disabled. This work reduces monitoring outages, improves operator confidence, and lays groundwork for future SNMP improvements. Key outcomes include safer default behavior, higher reliability in enterprise deployments, and clearer change trace via commit a8a0d3f987cc947c270add2bb54410b2c780e2ef (Disable default SNMP device scan, #45552).

March 2025: Delivered SNMP Scan Module Integration into the DataDog agent runtime within the datadog-agent repo, enabling SNMP scanning capabilities by loading the snmpscan component into the runtime configuration. This work lays the foundation for enhanced network visibility and monitoring coverage with minimal runtime impact. The integration was validated to ensure the module is loaded and available at runtime. No major bugs reported during this period; the focus was on reliable feature delivery and correctness of the module load path.

February 2025 monthly summary for DataDog/datadog-agent: Focused on delivering enhanced scan reporting granularity. Key feature delivered: Scan Type Differentiation in Scan Reporting. Introduced a new ScanType field in ScanStatusMetadata and updated ScanDeviceAndSendData to accept and record the new scan type, differentiating manual vs remote-config-triggered scans. This enables more precise telemetry, better troubleshooting, and improved dashboards. Commit 75f4a59baad658956e0b5a57593775916f8e5c9e with message 'Submit device scan type (#34485)'.
