I completely second Alex' idea.

To bring it one step forward, it would feel good to try and unify the
data-collection API between CacheMgr and SNMP, so that the same
callbacks are invoked for the various components, and have components
return a structured language-neutral description of the data, to be
rendered by the management framework into text, html, xml, json or
SNMP.
