--- Comment #7 from W. Michael Petullo <[email protected]> ---
So far I have tended to follow the lead of node-exporter, but here are my own
opinions:

prometheus-snmp-exporter was the better package name. For example, I often run
something like "dnf list *prometheus*" to find what is available in package
form that is related to prometheus. This would not catch snmp-exporter.
Additionally, snmp-exporter is a very generic name. As a point of comparison,
lighttpd webserver plugin packages are named, e.g., as lighttpd-mod-openssl.

I am leery of the binaries snmp_exporter and snmp_generator. These are generic
names. Having had naming conflicts with other packages, I think adding a
prometheus prefix would be better.

I guess I like snmp-exporter.service better.

I do like %{_sysconfdir}/prometheus/snmp_exporter/ better, since snmp_exporter
is generally used with prometheus. This keeps /etc a little less cluttered. As
a comparison, the lighttpd webserver plugin configurations go in
/etc/lighttpd/...

It would be nice to come to a consensus across all exporter packages. Should we
start an email discussion among exporter packagers? Or something on Bugzilla?
Or something on the fedora-devel mailing list?
