snmp_exporter version: output of snmp_exporter -version

What device/snmpwalk OID are you using?

cisco switch oid=1.3.6.1.2.1.2

If this is a new device, please link to the MIB(s).

What did you do that produced an error?

i configured everything like i have seen in the examples yet the snmp_export only produces a single value. I do have this added to grafana but I confirmed in the exporter UI that the values do not change.

i will see this same value for these no matter how long it runs. confirmed via packet capture that it is getting data back from snmp.

What did you expect to see?

I would expect to see the values fluctuate with the real world values of the network device

What did you see instead?

I see the single value that never changes every time the exporter is queried.

[SuperQ]

The exporter has no cache, so the only way this can happen is if the device has a request cache. For example, snmp-server ifmib stats cache.

confirmed via packet capture that it is getting data back from snmp

Can you confirm that the values are changing in the packet capture?

it does indeed appear that the values in the capture are returning the same values and i will invesigate there. I appologize for the issue☝️
