 I'm using Lua to develop Network Management Agents. I did some 
experiments for my Master Thesis. Basically I worked in two 
directions: The first one is an implementation of the AgentX Protocol 
(still an Internet Draft) build using Lua and C and the CMU SNMP 
Library. The second uses the Lua agent by Renato Cerqueira and a set 
of Lua functions to access UNIX system variables, such as the 
returned by uname and related Shell commands. I also created a MIB 
that uses Lua functions to return system information.

 The only reference to that at the present is an article from Renato 
Cerqueira and my Master Thesis (in portuguese).
