Sensu SNMP Plugin
Overview
This plugin provides native SNMP instrumentation for monitoring and metrics collection, including: generic OID single/bulk query for status and metrics, and ifTable metrics.
The Sensu assets packaged from this repository are built against the Sensu ruby runtime environment. When using these assets as part of a Sensu Go resource (check, mutator or handler), make sure you include the corresponding Sensu ruby runtime asset in the list of assets needed by the resource. The current ruby-runtime assets can be found here in the Bonsai Asset Index

Asset registration
Assets are the best way to make use of this handler. If you're not using an asset, please consider doing so! If you're using sensuctl 5.13 or later, you can use the following command to add the asset:
sensuctl asset add sensu-plugins/sensu-plugins-snmp
If you're using an earlier version of sensuctl, you can download the asset definition from this project's Bonsai Asset Index page.
