Device Groups

caution

The SNMP Input is currently a technology preview and not intended for production environments. The design and features are subject to change.

Device Groups organize Object Groups together which may be instrumented by a model or series of device. For example, a Juniper MX-series router will include object groups for various standards-based entities, such as interfaces and routing protocols, and Juniper-specific entities like chassis components and protocol extensions.

The location of the device group definition files is specified by EF_INPUT_SNMP_DEVICE_GROUP_DEFINITIONS_DIRECTORY_PATH in the collectors configuration options. The default location is /etc/elastiflow/snmp/device_groups.
