Quick Install

InfluxDB UI

In the InfluxDB UI, go to Settings->Templates and enter this URL: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/influxdata/community-templates/master/snmp/snmp.yml

Influx CLI

If you have your InfluxDB credentials configured in the CLI, you can install this template with:

influx apply -u https://raw.githubusercontent.com/influxdata/community-templates/master/snmp/snmp.yml

Included Resources

This template includes the following:

  • 1 Bucket: snmp, 1d retention
  • 3 Labels: inputs.net,inputs.system,SNMP
  • 3 Telegraf Configurations: Linux SNMP, Cisco SNMP, Mikrotik SNMP
  • 0 Checks:
  • 3 Dashboards: SNMP System Monitoring, SNMP Mikrotik Monitoring, SNMP Network Monitoring
  • 2 Variables: snmp_host, and snmp_ifName

Setup Instructions

Load the dashboards and use the SNMP plugin into your environment.

Include the Telegraf inputs.snmp plugin in your Telegraf configuration and start Telegraf. There are multiple configuration files per specific device. SNMP tools must be installed on the device with Telegraf. If labels are used in OIDs, appropriate MIB files must be installed as well.

Example for Ubuntu: sudo apt install snmp snmp-mibs-downloader

For Linux SNMP monitoring SNMP server must be installed and properly configured.

Example for Ubuntu: sudo apt install snmpd

Telegraf

The data for the dashboard is populated by the included Telegraf configuration. The Telegraf Configuration requires the following environment variables

  • INFLUX_TOKEN - The token with the permissions to read Telegraf configs and write data to a bucket. You can just use your operator token to get started.
  • INFLUX_ORG - The name of your Organization (this will be your email address on the InfluxDB Cloud free tier)
  • INFLUX_HOST - The URL of your InfluxDB host (this can your localhost, a remote instance, or InfluxDB Cloud)
  • INFLUX_BUCKET - The name of your bucket (default name is snmp)

You MUST set these environment variables before running Telegraf using something similar to the following commands

  • This can be found on the Load Data > Tokens page in your browser: export INFLUX_TOKEN=TOKEN
  • Your Organization name can be found on the Settings page in your browser: export INFLUX_ORG=my_org

Each Telegraf configuration requires to update inputs.snmp section to configure SNMP connection parameters.

Customizations

Extend the telegraf configuration using SNMP OID codes to process more metrics.
