+# Collecting SNMP data with Prometheus
+
+Use the `prometheus-snmp-exporter` package.
+
+## Generating snmp.yml
+
+This file is not included in the Debian packages for licensing reasons, and we
+also want to include the Ubiquiti MIBs anyway.
+
+Main docs: https://github.com/prometheus/snmp_exporter/tree/main/generator
+
+Short story:
+
+* git clone https://github.com/prometheus/snmp_exporter.git
+* make generate
+* make mibs # downloads the MIBs, including the UBNT ones
+* ./generator generate -m mibs -g generator.yml -o snmp.yml
+
+Copy `snmp.yml` to `/etc/prometheus/snmp.yml`.
