Hi I am facing a problem trying to get custom MIB files to work. I have already placed converted the mib file to .py and placed it in the ./snmp_ta/bin/mibs/ folder. I have also configured the inputs.conf to look at the specific mib file.

Could it be that the MIB requires a 'parent' MIB that it connects onto?
There might be an enterprise MIB and then your specific MIB required.

Thank you for the comment, I think I have already included those. Currently facing these 2 errors

Does the name of MIB in the directory match the name of MIB in the modular input? Also this might be a problem with the converted MIB.

Hi Dauren, yes I have made sure to match the MIB names.
