SNMP exporter config generator docker container

[ninoabbate]

Hello all,
I built a docker container for the config generator, you can find it here: https://github.com/ninoabbate/docker-secg
Hope you will find it useful too.

Thanks for sharing. That depends on your local system, and doesn't include mibs so it's of limited use. I'm not sure what the legal status would be on including the mibs.

I've just realized that the A10 mibs couldn't be included, so I've removed them.
The container must be used only for generating the configuration, so it is a one time run only.

Ok, I've updated the repo adding the Palo Alto firewall MIBs, which can be downloaded for free from here: https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/documentation/misc/snmp-mibs.html

To test the generator, just clone my repo docker-secg and then run the container:

$  docker run --rm -v "$PWD/mibs:/root/.snmp/mibs" \
    -v "$PWD/generator.yml:/snmp_exporter/generator/generator.yml" \
    -v "$PWD/snmp.yml:/snmp_exporter/generator/snmp.yml" aabbate/secg

You will find the generated configuration on the snmp.yml file

Thinking on this, what we could do in this repo is provide a docker image with a working generator and document the volume mounts to pull in the MIBs etc.

@brian-brazil I will add the needed documentation about volume mounts, etc.. 👍

[ninoabbate]

@brian-brazil I did a rework on this container, it uses the same tag used by snmp-exporter, also I documented the volumes to mount, please take a look if you have one free minute.
Suggestions are welcomed.

[brian-brazil]

At a first glance I'd suggest arranging the paths so that the volume mounts are much more concise.

I'd also advise making the commands other than 'generate' accessible, they're handy for debugging.

There is one now.
