> Sounds like you will need to complain to APC that their firmware is 
buggy, or the MIB is invalid. They made a breaking change to the data 
definition or data. Can't tell which without asking them.

Seconded.

The whole point of OIDs is that they are supposed to be globally unique; 
however, I've seen cases where two different devices from the same vendor 
are using the same OIDs in different ways (Netgear switches come to mind). 
Sometimes even two different firmware versions for the same model.

This means you'll end up with multiple, conflicting MIBs for the same part 
of the OID tree. You then have to obtain the correct MIB file for each 
different type of device, and the hard part is ensuring that your software 
uses the correct subset of MIB files when talking to a particular device.

In the case of snmp_exporter, this means you'll need to build one snmp.yml 
with one set of MIB files present, and another snmp.yml with a different 
set of MIB files present.  You can then combine them as modules with 
different names (or recent versions of snmp_exporter let you drop multiple 
files into a directory)
