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.

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.
