SNMPRawCollector

The SNMPRawCollector is designed for collecting data from SNMP-enables devices, using a set of specified OIDs

Configuration

Below is an example configuration for the SNMPRawCollector. The collector can collect data any number of devices by adding configuration sections under the devices header. By default the collector will collect every 60 seconds. This might be a bit excessive and put unnecessary load on the devices being polled. You may wish to change this to every 300 seconds. However you need modify your graphite data retentions to handle this properly.

    # Options for SNMPRawCollector
    enabled = True
    interval = 60

    [devices]

    # Start the device configuration
    # Note: this name will be used in the metric path.
    [[my-identification-for-this-host]]
    host = localhost
    port = 161
    community = public

    # Start the OID list for this device
    # Note: the value part will be used in the metric path.
    [[[oids]]]
    1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.3.1 = cpu.load.1min
    1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.3.2 = cpu.load.5min
    1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.3.3 = cpu.load.15min

    # If you want another host, you can. But you probably won't need it.
    [[another-identification]]
    host = router1.example.com
    port = 161
    community = public
    [[[oids]]]
    oid = metric.path
    oid = metric.path

Note: If you modify the SNMPRawCollector configuration, you will need to restart diamond.
