Hmmm ok - I was thinking about the upstream author's description of
"management", which I simply took over. But it's rather a "network
monitoring" tool, and people searching for these should know what SNMP
and WMI are. So I'm considering "network monitoring" instead of "network
management" for the short description.
Thanks for the hint...
