Add External Monitoring page covering SNMP non-support and supported paths#463
Merged
Conversation
…paths Documents that VergeOS does not support SNMP and consolidates the supported external-monitoring options (Prometheus Exporter/ioMetrics, REST API, IPMI) into a single page, with guidance for SNMP-first tools like SolarWinds and LogicMonitor.

…tive Prometheus ingestion Removes inaccurate session-token/API-key conflation from the REST API section and points readers at the canonical API Keys and API Guide pages. Trims the Prometheus Exporter section so it no longer duplicates prometheus-exporter.md, drops the redundant Summary section, and adds a tip noting that LogicMonitor and SolarWinds Observability ingest Prometheus metrics natively — so users of those platforms should use the exporter path rather than a custom REST collector or SNMP bridge.
