Hi,

Im using snmp_exporter to monitor Server, Network and USPs with snmp_exporter. I generated the snmp.yml file with the official snmp_exporter generator from github.

https://github.com/prometheus/snmp_exporter

https://github.com/prometheus/snmp_exporter/tree/main/generator

cat generator.yml

The Server Monitoring with outOfBandGroup & if_mib does work without any problems, but apcups gets the error.

An error has occurred while serving metrics:

As i generated the snmp.yml with this official generator i do not know how to handle this.

I also attached the snmp.yml im using. Of course i noticed that there are labelnames(indexes) doubled but that the way the snmp.yml file was generated.

for example:

- name: upsOutletGroupStatusIndex
oid: 1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.12.1.2.1.1
type: gauge
help: The index to the outlet group entry. - 1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.12.1.2.1.1
indexes:
- labelname: upsOutletGroupStatusIndex
type: gauge
- name: upsOutletGroupStatusName
oid: 1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.12.1.2.1.2
type: DisplayString
help: The name of the outlet group - 1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.12.1.2.1.2
indexes:
- labelname: upsOutletGroupStatusIndex
type: gauge

Every help is appreciated!!!

Can you include a snmpwalk command line output of 1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.2.3.10.2.1.4?

SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.318.1.1.1.12.1.2.1.3.1 = INTEGER: 1

so i really think its a problem with the snmp.yml or/and prometheus as i also said outOfBandGroup and if_mib already worked
