Telegraf shows "was that a table" for an OID that is a table

Im trying to collect all the stats in a SNMP table. I used Observium to find the OID of the table which is: .1.3.6.1.3.94.4.5 but for some reason I get Was that a table? error.

My config looks like this:

`## Add fields and tables defining the variables you wish to collect.
[[inputs.snmp.table]]
  oid = ".1.3.6.1.3.94.4"
##  name = "connUnitPortStatTable"`

It doesn’t recognise it as a table because it didn’t find any MIBs that describe this OID as being a table.

So there are 2 options:

  1. Leave out the table OID and manually add the table fields in telegraf config
  2. Add the MIBs describing this OID/table.

PS. I would also start using the non-deprecated gosmi snmp_translator.
