You haven't included the config that caused the problem.

I have the exact same problem. Here's my config generator.yml `--- version: 2

auths: with_secret: version: 3 username: uname security_level: authNoPriv password: pass auth_protocol: SHA
priv_protocol: AES256
priv_password: privpass context_name: context

modules:

IF-MIB: walk: [sysUpTime, interfaces, ifXTable] retries: 3
timeout: 10s
lookups:

• source_indexes: [ifIndex] lookup: ifAlias
• source_indexes: [ifIndex] lookup: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2 # ifDescr
• source_indexes: [ifIndex] lookup: 1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.1 overrides: ifAlias: ignore: true ifDescr: ignore: true ifName: ignore: true ifType: type: EnumAsInfo`

I'm using version 0.22.0 of the snmp exporter. The generator generates the snmp.yml file without any errors but when I start the snmp exporter using the file, I get the the error

[calebarcher]

I just figured what my issue was, the version of snmp exporter was different from version of generator i was using. They have to be the same version

Agreed, i came to the same conclusion. generator and snmp-exporter must have the same version. IMHO this should be mentioned somewhere. ;)
