I am trying to have Telegraf use the SNMP input plugin to capture some
different metrics from an APC PDU.
Some of these are standard counters and they work fine, but other oids are
either text or timetics and these seem to cause an error when the metric is
entered into InfluxDB.
Using Telegraf & InfluxDB version 1.0.0 beta 2 on Centos 6.8
Config in telegraf.conf:
[[inputs.snmp]]
[[inputs.snmp.host]]
address = "10.1.1.3:161"
community = "public"
collect = ["PDUname"]
[[inputs.snmp.get]]
name = "PDUname"
oid = ".1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5.0"
telegraf.log file:
2016/07/16 19:02:50 Output [influxdb] buffer fullness: 2 / 10000 metrics. Total
gathered metrics: 2. Total dropped metrics: 0.
2016/07/16 19:02:50 ERROR: {"error":"unable to parse
'PDUname,host=monitor,snmp_host=10.1.1.3 PDUname=Rack 1468661560000000000':

This example was for text OID. I found the same thing occurred if the OID was a
timetics. I am quite new to Telegraf/InfluxDB but searching around seemed to
indicate that the software did support text as either key or value so not sure
what I am doing wrong?
