Or to find "where does that VM/zone/... run from, so I can login to the host and manage it?"

So I'd say the tool is a useful one, when accompanied by some others in a toolkit. It does not quite fit the OP requested profile with history for postmortems etc... though thinking of it, you can just crontab a job to directly request and save SNMP tables from switches into e.g. git ;)
