 It's not capable of turning Prometheus into a push-based monitoring system and should only be used when there is no other way to collect the desired metrics.
 Currently, in Genestack the push gateway is only being used to gather stats from the OVN-Backup CronJob as noted in the [Pushgateway Deployment Doc](prometheus-pushgateway.md).
 
+* ### SNMP Exporter:
+The [Prometheus SNMP Exporter](https://github.com/prometheus/snmp_exporter) is
+used for gathering SNMP metrics. A default Genestack installation does not make
+use of it, so you do not need to install it unless you plan to do additional
+configuration beyond Genestack defaults and specifically plan to monitor some
+SNMP-enabled devices.

 * ### Textfile Collector:
 It's possible to gather node/host metrics that aren't exposed by any of the above exporters by utilizing the [Node Exporter Textfile Collector](https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter?tab=readme-ov-file#textfile-collector).
 Currently, in Genestack the textfile-collector is used to collect kernel-taint stats. To view more information about the textfile-collector and how to deploy your own custom exporter view the [Custom Metrics Deployment Doc](prometheus-custom-node-metrics.md).

+# Prometheus SNMP Exporter
+
+You will not generally need the Prometheus SNMP Exporter unless you have
+specific SNMP monitoring needs and take additional steps to configure the
+Prometheus SNMP Exporter. The default Genestack configuration doesn't make
+immediate use of it without site-specific customization, such as writing an
+applicable snmp.conf
+
+Use the Prometheus SNMP exporter for getting metrics from monitoring with SNMP
+into Prometheus.
+
+#### Install the Prometheus SNMP Exporter Helm Chart
+
+
+``` shell
+bin/install-chart.sh prometheus-snmp-exporter
+```
+
+!!! success
+    If the installation is successful, you should see the prometheus-snmp-exporter pod running in the prometheus namespace.
