setting up snmp_exporter component for my Alloy agent need some help

[edmund-10x]

I am very new to snmp_exporter and Grafana's Alloy agent, I am trying to setup my config.alloy on my test k8s cluster to scrape snmp metrics from our network (Cisco and Pan) devices. We are also using snmpv3 I've setup my current config to look like something below, but I don't know if it is correct or not.

`prometheus.exporter.snmp "snmp_devices" {
config_file = "/etc/snmp/snmp.yml"
target "my_switch" {
address = "192.168.1.1"
auth = "cisco_snmpv3"
module = "system,if_mib"
labels = {
"site" = "smr6230",
"env" = "prod",
}
}
}

prometheus.scrape "alloy_targets" {
targets = prometheus.exporter.snmp_devices.target
forward_to = [prometheus.remote_write.mimir_internal.receiver]
}

prometheus.remote_write "mimir_internal" {
endpoint {
name = "mimir-local"
url = "http://mimir-test-nginx.mimir-test.svc:80/api/v1/write"

queue_config {
  capacity = 2500
  max_shards = 200
  max_samples_per_send = 500
}
metadata_config {
  max_samples_per_send = 500
}

}

}`

Could anyone that has done this before share some configuration snippets to help get me going? Thank you.

Hey @edmund-10x ,

with the latest alloy release 1.8.1 - what does the graph in the UI look like? Btw maybe https://github.com/grafana/alloy is the better place to ask such a question
