Have you updated your generator recently? We added a patch that tries to use OIDs closer to the original index first.
See: https://github.com/prometheus/snmp_exporter/pull/828 There's also now support for multiple files in the exporter, as well as different input filenames in the generator. You could do something like this: MIBDIRS="mibs/base:mibs/vendorA" generator --generator-path="generator-vendorA.yml" --output-path="snmp-vendorA.yml" MIBDIRS="mibs/base:mibs/vendorB" generator --generator-path="generator-vendorB.yml" --output-path="snmp-vendorB.yml" snmp_exporer --config.file="snmp-*.yml" Longer-term, I want to add the ability to specify MIBDIRS pre module in the generator. This way you can put the conflicting MIBs in different dirs and still have one config.
