Not able to retrieve SNMP Metrics from Remote Host to Telegraf

Hello,

We are struggling to fetch SNMP metric from a remote host to our Telegraf host. We added the inputs.snmp and defined the host details. The connection looks to be established but not seeing any metrics being sent to Influx DB. Could you pls. help us? Below is the configuration:
[[inputs.snmp]]
agents = [ “xx.xx.xx.xx:161” ]
version = 3
name = “snmp”
community = “abcctelegraf”
sec_name = “TelegrafMonitoringTest”
auth_protocol = “SHA”
auth_password = “plaintext”
sec_level = “authPriv”
context_name = “”
priv_protocol = “DES”
priv_password = “cryptotext”
timeout = “5s”

[[inputs.snmp.field]]

oid = “RFC1213-MIB::sysUpTime.0”

oid = “IBM-MQ-APPLIANCE-STATUS-MIB::mqStatusActiveUserssession.687043”
name = “ActiveUserssession”

[[inputs.snmp.field]]
oid = “IBM-MQ-APPLIANCE-STATUS-MIB::mqStatusActiveUserslogin.687043”
name = “ActiveUserslogin”
is_tag = true

[[inputs.snmp.field]]
oid = “RFC1213-MIB::sysName.0”
name = “source”
is_tag = true

[[inputs.snmp.table]]
oid = “IF-MIB::ifTable”
name = “interface”
inherit_tags = [“source”]

[[inputs.snmp.table.field]]
oid = “IF-MIB::ifDescr”
name = “ifDescr”
is_tag = true

[[inputs.snmp_trap]]
service_address = “udp://:1025”
timeout = “5s”

This is urgent and your support is appreciated. Thanks,

The first troubleshooting step I usually start with is to run with --test, this should print out any metrics that are gathered only to stdout. Keep in mind it only will work with the regular snmp plugin as the snmp_trap plugin isn’t polling based.
