Hello,
I’m dealing with a problem where snmp_exporter would time out ( after 3 retries) while trying to collect metrics from a target which is an Asus router running snmpd.
The snmp_exporter is installed on a Linux box with its own snmp.yml ( part of the linux-amd64 pkg). The snmpwalk works from the same host.
I thought the snmp.yml is probably not right so tried to use the generator but it failed due to unable to walk an OID.
Is there a way I can use the existing yml and make it work somehow? Am I missing something?
Please advise,
Thanks
It all depends on your hardware. Some equipment devices are really slow.
Could you try a manual scrape with curl against the snmp_exporter?
It could also be a firewall dropping the traffic.
What did you try to debug this?
I think I need to reconstruct the ym based what I get via snmpwalk. There are no official MIBs available on the router. I’ve installed net-snmp agent on it.
Thanks
Just to give you an idea about how slow it can be, I had compute hardware from one vendor that needed 30 minutes to do a complete walk.
For some reason, Some of the targets “Up” metric showing 0. when i scrape through the curl command the target is reachable and i can do the snmpwalk as well.
