- This collector monitors any SNMP devices and uses the [gosnmp](https://github.com/gosnmp/gosnmp) package.

- It supports:
+ This SNMP collector discovers and gathers statistics for network interfaces on SNMP-enabled devices:
+
+ - Traffic
+ - Packets (unicast, multicast, broadcast)
+ - Errors
+ - Discards
+ - Administrative and operational status
- - all SNMP versions: SNMPv1, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3.
- - any number of SNMP devices.
- - each SNMP device can be used to collect data for any number of charts.
- - each chart may have any number of dimensions.
- - each SNMP device may have a different update frequency.
- - each SNMP device will accept one or more batches to report values (you can set `max_request_size` per SNMP server, to control the size of batches).
+ Additionally, it collects overall device uptime.
- Keep in mind that many SNMP switches and routers are very slow. They may not be able to report values per second.
- `go.d.plugin` reports the time it took for the SNMP device to respond when executed in the debug mode.
+ It is compatible with all SNMP versions (v1, v2c, and v3) and uses the [gosnmp](https://github.com/gosnmp/gosnmp) package.
- Also, if many SNMP clients are used on the same SNMP device at the same time, values may be skipped.
- This is a problem of the SNMP device, not this collector. In this case, consider reducing the frequency of data collection (increasing `update_every`).
+ **For advanced users**:
+
+ - You can manually specify custom OIDs (Object Identifiers) to retrieve specific data points beyond the default metrics.
+ - However, defining custom charts with dimensions for these OIDs requires manual configuration.

+ **Device limitations**: Many SNMP switches and routers have limited processing power. They might not be able to report data as frequently as desired. You can monitor response times using go.d.plugin in debug mode to identify potential bottlenecks.
+
+ **Concurrent access**: If multiple collectors or tools access the same SNMP device simultaneously, data points might be skipped. This is a limitation of the device itself, not this collector. To mitigate this, consider increasing the collection interval (update_every) to reduce the frequency of requests.
