The `snmp` receiver uses [gosnmp](https://github.com/gosnmp/gosnmp) to read metrics from network-attached devices.
The configuration of SNMP is quite extensive due to it's flexibility.
## Configuration
- `type` has to be `snmp`
- `read_interval` as duration like '1s' or '20s' (default '30s')
For the receiver, the configuration is split in two parts:
### Target configuration
Each network-attached device that should be queried. A target consits of
- `hostname`
- `port` (default 161)
- `community` (default `public`)
- `timeout` as duration like '1s' or '20s' (default '1s')
- `version` SNMP version `X` (`X` in `1`, `2c`, `3`) (default `2c`)
- `type` to specify `type` tag for the target (default `node`)
- `type-id` to specify `type-id` tag for the target
- `stype` to specify `stype` tag (sub type) for the target
- `stype-id` to specify `stype-id` tag for the target
### Metric configuration
- `name` can be an OID or a user-given string
- `value` has to be an OID
- `unit` can be empty, an OID or a user-given string
If a OID is used for `name` or `unit`, the receiver will use the returned values to create the output metric. If there are any issues with the returned values, it uses the `OID`.
