Hey Hi , I’m using oid to get the snmp fields and when i set is\_tag = true , the data is missing and the configuration is below when i remove is\_tag = true data is being pushed to the influx db , as without tags i was unable to perform influx db time series analysis [[inputs.snmp]] agents = [“103.148.119.222”] version = 2 community = “private” interval = “5s” timeout = “10s” retries = 3 [[inputs.snmp.field]] oid = “SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0” name = “hostname” [[inputs.snmp.table]] name = “onu” inherit\_tags = [“hostname”] [[inputs.snmp.table.field]] name = “rx” oid = “1.3.6.1.4.1.37950.1.1.6.1.1.3.1.7” [[inputs.snmp.table.field]] name = “ONUname” oid = “1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.1” is\_tag = true ---

Welcome! Can you clarify what your desired result is? Is it working without tagging ? If not, what about it is isn’t working? The general rule of thumb is do not creat a tag unless you actually need it. Creating extra tags increases series cardinality , ---

Goal : To capture multiple interfaces RX Transmission Power OID 1 : Interface name OID 2 : RX Transmission power where currently i’m able to capture these values and push them to influx metrics , but when i try to put analytics in Grafana the interface was not getting listed in SELECT ```auto > select * from interface limit 10 name: interface time agent_host host hostname ifDescr rx ---- ---------- ---- -------- ------- -- 1622968194000000000 100.164.119.222 TESTIN-NMS V1600G0 GPON03ONU31 jayantilal-bsnl -14.498(dBm) 1622968199000000000 100.164.119.222 TESTIN-NMS V1600G0 GPON01ONU4 abbastara -13.686(dBm) 1622968203000000000 100.164.119.222 TESTIN-NMS V1600G0 GPON03ONU26 -17.906(dBm) 1622968210000000000 100.164.119.222 TESTIN-NMS V1600G0 GPON02ONU9 ashishthakur -16.218(dBm) 1622968215000000000 103.148.119.222 TESTIN-NMS V1600G0 GPON02ONU15 YASHWANTMEENA-BSNL -19.548(dBm) ``` ![Screenshot 2021-06-06 at 2.02.21 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex023/uploads/influxdata/original/2X/6/64075b234012db4a25b5622c5bde0ea92084f6d8.png) When i tried to make the OID 1 as is\_tag = true the data is null , but without tag the data is being pushed Thanks for replying , awaiting to see how can this be fixed ---

Your table is called `onu` instead of `interface`. What do you get as output when running `telegraf --test`? ---
