I'd like to extend the question to the following use case. I'm using NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB with snmpd to call some scripts and return some values via SNMP to our old SNMP monitoring system. Something like: ``` exec java_proc /bin/bash /home/java_mem_usage.sh ``` That I can query with: ``` [root@server ~]# snmpwalk -v2c -c secret_community localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.8.1.101.1 UCD-SNMP-MIB::extOutput.1 = STRING: 8829116416
What is the best way to have snmp_exporter scrape these manual OIDs for some servers? The generator won't add them because they're not part of its templates. I'm considering exposing the information via node_exporter's text file exporter, but it requires tweaking to bypass SNMP. Thanks!
