hi,

I wonder if someone has tried to use telegraf [1] to monitor Wowza. I have enable SNMP [2] but I dont manage to get any data flowing to my instance of influxdb. Here below some of the runs I have done [3].

The Wowza MIB file is placed at

# pwd

/usr/share/snmp/mibs

Any orientation is welcome!

Thank you,

Ruben
