Is there any way to get Telegraf SNMP plugin to collect the enum string value rather than the integer type?

For example, I’m collecting from IF-MIB::ifType and it has a bunch of values defined in an enum table. I would rather store that information in InfluxDB rather than the integer type.

Thanks,  
Jax

I don’t think it is currently possible, could you open a new issue on github for this feature?
