Worked on the DataDog/datadog-agent repository to deliver and refine SNMP device scanning and metadata management features over six months. Developed real-time device scan status notifications, integrated SNMP scan modules into the agent runtime, and introduced scan type differentiation for improved telemetry and troubleshooting. Enhanced configuration flexibility by refactoring profile metadata and implemented automatic SNMP device scanning with customizable exclusions using YAML. Addressed stability by disabling default scans on problematic devices and refactored agent metadata handling for type safety and test reliability. Leveraged Go, backend development, and configuration management skills to improve monitoring coverage, operational safety, and maintainability.

Mar 1, 2026March 2026 — Implemented Automatic SNMP Device Scanning feature for datadog-agent with default-on behavior and an exclude list, driving improved asset discovery and safer scanning. Introduced network_devices.default_scan.excluded_ips config (YAML-configurable) to skip specific IPs. Updated and added unit tests for the new behavior and default-on state; aligned test plans with validation steps. Collaboration included co-authorship on commits (#48224, #48376) with Nouha Manai. No major bug fixes recorded for this scope; primary focus on feature delivery, test coverage, and deployment readiness.

Feb 1, 2026February 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.

Jan 1, 2026January 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).

Mar 1, 2025March 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.

Feb 1, 2025February 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)'.
