snmp_exporter not combining values.

[thunder196]

Hi All,

I have the following configuration within snmp_exporter:

cisco_router:

  get:

  - 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.1.10

  - 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2.10

  - 1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.1.10

  - 1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.10.10

  - 1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.18.10

  metrics:

  - name: ifIndex

    oid: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.1

    type: gauge

    help: A unique value, greater than zero, for each interface - 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.1

    indexes:

    - labelname: ifIndex

      type: gauge

  - name: ifDescr

    oid: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2

    type: DisplayString

    help: A textual string containing information about the interface - 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2

    indexes:

    - labelname: ifIndex

      type: gauge

  - name: ifName

    oid: 1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.1

    type: DisplayString

    help: The textual name of the interface - 1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.1

    indexes:

    - labelname: ifIndex

      type: gauge

  - name: ifHCOutOctets

    oid: 1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.10

    type: counter

    help: The total number of octets transmitted out of the interface, including framing

      characters - 1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.10

    indexes:

    - labelname: ifIndex

      type: gauge

  - name: ifAlias

    oid: 1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.18

    type: DisplayString

    help: This object is an 'alias' name for the interface as specified by a network

      manager, and provides a non-volatile 'handle' for the interface - 1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.18

    indexes:

    - labelname: ifIndex

      type: gauge

  version: 3

  timeout: 10s

  auth:

    security_level: authPriv

    username: <snipped>

    password: <snipped>

    auth_protocol: SHA

    priv_protocol: AES

    priv_password: <snipped>

According to the snmp_exporter docs about mapping: https://github.com/prometheus/snmp_exporter#mapping

This should result in a singular line output like:

ifHCOutOctets{ifAlias="",ifDescr="eth0",ifIndex="2",ifName="eth0"} 1000

However this doesn't seem to be happening as I get:

# HELP ifAlias This object is an 'alias' name for the interface as specified by a network manager, and provides a non-volatile 'handle' for the interface - 1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.18

# TYPE ifAlias gauge

ifAlias{ifAlias="",ifIndex="10"} 1

# HELP ifDescr A textual string containing information about the interface - 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2

# TYPE ifDescr gauge

ifDescr{ifDescr="<snipped> 0/1/2",ifIndex="10"} 1

# HELP ifIndex A unique value, greater than zero, for each interface - 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.1

# TYPE ifIndex gauge

ifIndex{ifIndex="10"} 10

# HELP ifName The textual name of the interface - 1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.1

# TYPE ifName gauge

ifName{ifIndex="10",ifName="<snipped> 0/1/2"} 1

# HELP snmp_scrape_duration_seconds Total SNMP time scrape took (walk and processing).

# TYPE snmp_scrape_duration_seconds gauge

snmp_scrape_duration_seconds 0.068588273

# HELP snmp_scrape_pdus_returned PDUs returned from walk.

# TYPE snmp_scrape_pdus_returned gauge

snmp_scrape_pdus_returned 4

# HELP snmp_scrape_walk_duration_seconds Time SNMP walk/bulkwalk took.

# TYPE snmp_scrape_walk_duration_seconds gauge

snmp_scrape_walk_duration_seconds 0.068496554

Anyone know why this isn't working as intended?

Here is the generator.yml file as well:

modules:

  cisco_router:

    walk:

      - 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.1.10             # Interface Index

      - 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2.10          # Interface Descriptions

      - 1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.1.10          # Interface Name

      - 1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.10.10              # Interface OutOctets

      - 1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.18.10         # Interface Alias

    version: 3

    timeout: 10s

    auth:

      username: <snipped>

      security_level: authPriv

      password: <snipped>

      auth_protocol: SHA

      priv_protocol: AES

      priv_password: <snipped>

Never mind, I figured this out, I wasn't properly using lookups within the generator.yml file,

Here is the file that I was able to get it to properly work with, in case anyone else runs into this issue:

modules:

    cisco_router:

    walk: # [sysUpTime, interfaces, ifXTable]

      - 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3                 # UpTime

      - 1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.10         # Interface OutOctets

    lookups:

      - source_indexes: [ifIndex]

        lookup: ifAlias

      - source_indexes: [ifIndex]

        # Uis OID to avoid conflict with PaloAlto PAN-COMMON-MIB.

        lookup: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2 # ifDescr

      - source_indexes: [ifIndex]

        # Use OID to avoid conflict with Netscaler NS-ROOT-MIB.

        lookup: 1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.1 # ifName

    overrides:

      ifAlias:

        ignore: true # Lookup metric

      ifDescr:

        ignore: true # Lookup metric

      ifName:

        ignore: true # Lookup metric

      ifType:

        type: EnumAsInfo

    version: 3

    timeout: 10s

    auth:

      username: <snipped>

      security_level: authPriv

      password: <snipped>

      auth_protocol: SHA

      priv_protocol: AES

      priv_password: <snipped>
