SNMP Exporter Config Generator

This config generator uses NetSNMP to parse MIBs, and generates configs for the snmp_exporter using them.

Building

sudo apt-get install build-essential libsnmp-dev snmp-mibs-downloader  # Debian-based distros
go build

Running

./generator generate

The generator reads in from generator.yml and writes to snmp.yml.

Additional command are available for debugging, use the help command to see them.

Where to get MIBs

Some of these are quite sluggish, so use wget to download.

Put the extracted mibs in a location NetSNMP can read them from. $HOME/.snmp/mibs is one option.
