1.) I can get snmpv2 working and polling when I'm in debug mode, but can't seem to get V3 working via the generator. I don't get an error, it just doesn't seem to even try to poll You need to show exactly what you're doing, what commands you're running, what responses you get. However, I suggest you start by using the supplied snmp.yml and not hacking around with generator. That is, start by polling one of the supplied mibs like if_mib. 2.) How do I poll another file that has all of the OID/MIB information? I'd prefer to not having to keep touching the snmp.yaml file. snmp_exporter --config.file=/etc/prometheus/snmp.d/*.yml This means that for example you can add your own 'auths' section in a separate file (say /etc/prometheus/snmpd./auth.yml), and not touch the vanilla snmp.yml Does anyone have a .yaml that is scrubbed, but in the proper format to look at cisco stuff and v3 that I can work off of? Otherwise, any idea why v3 wouldn't work? Depends what SNMP settings you're using. If you're using privacy, AES should be OK but note that Cisco uses a proprietary, incompatible version of AES192 and AES256 (which you can select using AES192C or AES256C) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prometheus Users" group.
