agent VS snmp_exporter

And has an agent that can be run on the host to monitor it: https://github.com/grafana/agent

For example, there are things like https://github.com/grafana/agent

Hey, I would like to lint my agent config in vscode. Did someone know where I can find the agent config JSON schema ? I've searched on https://github.com/grafana/agent and https://grafana.com/docs/agent/latest/ but cant find anything like this ...

Grafana Agent can stream data back to you.

At the time, Jaeger did not support OTEL format, which meant we needed our telemetry collector to export spans in Jaeger format. We were able to push this small fix to add a Jaeger exporter on the Agent.

Furthermore, would recommend Grafana Agent OR Prometheus Agent in this case since you probably don't need the Prometheus UI in each Cluster as well as the Alerting stuff that is inside Prometheus. (Mimir will do the ruling stuff for you). Grafana Agent also has an Operator mode if you want to use ServiceMonitor and PodMonitor CustomResources.

There were a bunch of alternatives to solve this before, like grafana agent [0], vm agent [1] or opentelemetry collector [2].

[0] - https://github.com/grafana/agent

[1] - https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/tree/mast...

[2] - https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector

This might be a reasonable use case for the Grafana Agent. It's basically a Prometheus instance, but without the local storage. Just forwards the data.

It is kind of described here:https://github.com/prometheus/snmp_exporter/issues/405

The SNMP exporter can do lookups. Take a look at this documentation.

wget https://github.com/prometheus/snmp_exporter/releases/download/v0.21.0/snmp_exporter-0.21.0.linux-amd64.tar.gz

You need to find the OSBs for the router, and add those to the explorer. Take a look at this doc: https://github.com/prometheus/snmp_exporter/blob/main/generator/README.md

You can fetch this metrics using the SNMP exporter https://github.com/prometheus/snmp_exporter

As a maintainer of the Prometheus SNMP exporter, and the defacto standard implementation of SNMP in Go, I can tell you exactly how convoluted SNMP is at a protocol and specification level.

Refer to https://github.com/prometheus/snmp_exporter and https://blog.paessler.com/how-to-enable-snmp-on-your-operating-system

For example, you can use unpoller to bring your unifi stuff into the same system as your SNMP data.

SNMP by itself is a rather crude protocol, with values being identified as OID (Object IDs). Those are numerical identifiers. A MIB-File contains the information on how to translate these OIDs into workable data. There is some information on how to feed these files to the exporter located here: https://github.com/prometheus/snmp_exporter/tree/main/generator
