snmp bulk walk

[bajojoba]

Relevant telegraf.conf:

[[inputs.snmp]]
  interval = "300s"
  agents = [ "10.111.111.2:161" ]
  version = 2
  community = "public"
  name = "cmts"

 [[inputs.snmp.field]]
    name = "hostname"
    oid = "RFC1213-MIB::sysName.0"
    is_tag = true

  [[inputs.snmp.bluk]]
    name = "cmts"
    max_repetition = 127
    inherit_tags = [ "hostname" ]
    oid = "IF-MIB::ifXTable"

    [[inputs.snmp.table.field]]
      name = "ifName"
      oid = "IF-MIB::ifName"
      is_tag = true

    [[inputs.snmp.table.field]]
      name = "ifAlias"
      oid = "IF-MIB::ifAlias"
      is_tag = true

System info:

Centos 6.9, Telegraf v1.7.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. telegraf --test --config cmts.conf
   2018/06/19 12:50:37 E! Error parsing cmts.conf, line 13: field corresponding to bluk' is not defined in *snmp.Snmp'

Expected behavior:

I would like to use snmpbulkwalk as there are too many interfaces on the CMTS and snmpwalk is inefficient and much slower.

Actual behavior:

Don't know how to enable bulk and if it actualy exsits? There is no information regarding this on: https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/tree/master/plugins/inputs/snmp

Thanks.

Thanks for the report. Have you tried using inputs.snmp.bulk (as opposed to bluk)?

Should actually be inputs.snmp.table to use bulkwalk. You will also need to remove max_repetition from the this section since this is only a valid option on inputs.snmp:

[[inputs.snmp]]
  interval = "300s"
  agents = [ "10.111.111.2:161" ]
  version = 2
  community = "public"
  name = "cmts"

 [[inputs.snmp.field]]
    name = "hostname"
    oid = "RFC1213-MIB::sysName.0"
    is_tag = true

 [[inputs.snmp.table]]
   name = "cmts"
   inherit_tags = [ "hostname" ]
   oid = "IF-MIB::ifXTable"

   [[inputs.snmp.table.field]]
     name = "ifName"
     oid = "IF-MIB::ifName"
     is_tag = true

   [[inputs.snmp.table.field]]
     name = "ifAlias"
     oid = "IF-MIB::ifAlias"
     is_tag = true

Thanks Danilel for the info, I didn't know that.
