[Question] Filtering Requests about snmpcollector HOT 1 CLOSED

Hello @fgeueke , sorry for the late reply.

As you could see OID data could be organized and stored on SNMP based devices as tables ( indexed measurements on snmpcollector) , unfortunately SNMP protocol doesn't support filtering clauses as by example SQL do ( SELECT * from Table WHERE XXXX and YYYY and ZZZZZ ) . In any SNMPWALK query you will get all registries in the "column" of the table.

The only way to filter data via SNMP ( when you query big tables) is gathering all data first and filtering after, and snmpcollector helps to define and simplify this process for you.

Althought SNMP is an industry standard protocol for any hardware device , there is some limitations on how to use it and this is one of the most limiting features when querying SNMP data

from snmpcollector.
