Hi - I’m trying to have telegraf retrieve SNMP data from some of our ESXi servers, however no information is coming in. I have validated that snmpwalk to the device works fine. I can see it creating the influxdb database, but no measurments or other data are coming in.
I’m probably doing something stupid, but thought I’d boil it down to a simple metric gather, but no dice.
All help appreciated!
Relevant telegraf.conf:
[[inputs.snmp]]
agents = [ “10.zz.yy.xx:161” ]
version = 1
timeout = “5s”
retries = 3
community = “thecommunity”
name = “snmp”
max_repetitions = 200
[[inputs.snmp.field]]
name = “mtu”
oid = “.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.4.1”
is_tag = true
[[outputs.influxdb]]
urls = [“http://the.correct.ip.address:8086”]
database = “telegraf-snmp”
