# snmpd\_metrics(8)

export snmpd MIB data

## NAME

**snmpd\_metrics** – export snmpd MIB data

## SYNOPSIS

**snmpd\_metrics** \[**-dv**\] \[**-C** *option*\] \[**-c** *context*\] \[**-s** *path*\]

## DESCRIPTION

**snmpd\_metrics** exports the following (partial) MIBs via an AgentX compatible (snmp) daemon: HOST-RESOURCES-MIB, IF-MIB, OPENBSD-PF-MIB, OPENBSD-SENSORS-MIB, OPENBSD-CARP-MIB, OPENBSD-MEM-MIB, IP-MIB, IP-FORWARD-MIB, UCD-DISKIO-MIB, and BRIDGE-MIB.

The options are as follows:

- **-C** *option*

  Enable MIB-specific options. Currently only **filter-routes** is supported. If set ask the kernel to filter route update messages on the routing socket. Routing table information will not be available, but CPU use will be reduced during bulk updates.

- **-c** *context*

  The SNMPv3 context and can usually be omitted.

- **-d**

  Do not daemonize and log to *stderr*.

- **-s** *path*

  Connect to the AgentX master via *path*. It defaults to */var/agentx/master*.

- **-v**

  Produce more verbose output.
