You are absolutely right, SNMP and the management systems that are using it to connect to your endpoints can get out of hand. We have had this problem in the past and there are a few ways we have managed it. Firstly we have a policy that says that all departments are to use our enterprise monitoring system, they are not allowed to put their own solutions into place. Secondly on all of the endpoints we only allow the IP's of our enterprise monitoring system.
