IF-MIB:: missing in Docker Telegraf Container

[townet01]

Hello,
i have installed Telegraf container v 1.5.3, but with this configuration doesn't work:

# Inet interface [[inputs.snmp.table]] oid = "IF-MIB::ifTable" [[inputs.snmp.table.field]] is_tag = true oid = "IF-MIB::ifDescr"

is resulting in this error:

! Error in plugin [inputs.snmp]: initializing table : translating: exit status 2: MIB search path: /root/.snmp/mibs:/usr/share/snmp/mibs:/usr/share/snmp/mibs/iana:/usr/share/snmp/mibs/ietf:/usr/share/mibs/site:/usr/share/snmp/mibs:/usr/share/mibs/iana:/usr/share/mibs/ietf:/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp Cannot find module (IF-MIB): At line 0 in (none) IF-MIB::ifTable: Unknown Object Identifier

I have tried with 1.5 and 1.4, is the same thing.

Regards
E.

I ran into this problem, and came up with a work-around..

Here's the modified parts of the Dockerfile:

RUN echo "deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian stretch main non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list

RUN DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get update && \
    DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends iputils-ping snmp procps snmp-mibs-downloader && \
    rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

It basically adds a deb source, then downloads the snmp-mibs-downloader (which grabs all the standard mibs, including IF-MIB). I think this was not included because the downloader is marked as non-free. Hope this helps!

Hi,
Any chance this change makes it in the official package?
Thanks!

Doubtful, especially considering the package is considered “non-free”. But feel free to submit a feature request!

Cheers!

Have you tried the steps in the issues?

Hi,

I believe the preferred behavior is for folks to install any additional software they need. Trying to build an image that has absolutely everything for all plugins would be enormous and challenging as-is. I'm going to go ahead and close this for now.

Thanks again!
