Hi. Having some trouble with getting snmp exporter metrics from oids generated in snmp.yml from network device mibs. Certain oids I am interested in are in the snmp.yml file I have generated using the devices mibs, however those oids are not on the metrics page thus I can not pull them into Prometheus. I am also unable to walk the exact Oid with snmpwalk. Getting either no such instance currently exists at this oid or no such object available on this agent at this oid. Thanks for the help!

Btw these are RMON mibs that I am able to see the oids in my snmp.yml file but they are not showing up on my metrics page.

Then the problem is not with prometheus or with snmp_exporter - the problem is with your device.

Talk to your vendor, and explain that your device is not returning any information at the documented OIDs.  Show them the snmpwalk command line you are using.  Don't mention prometheus; snmpwalk is all you need to demonstrate the problem.
