Like plotting graphs for ifHCInOctets, ifHCOutOctets, ifErrors etc. See if you can model on that. As for enums, there's some info here: https://github.com/prometheus/snmp_exporter/blob/v0.23.0-rc.1/generator/README.md#enumasinfo-and-enumasstateset You'd use EnumAsStateSet only if you want a single SNMP data point to be exploded into N different timeseries, one for each possible value. e.g. suppose you have a single enumerated value for the status of a UPS, it could expand to apcups_status{status="online"} 0 apcups_status{status="onbatt"} 1 apcups_status{status="trim"} 0 apcups_status{status="boost"} 0 apcups_status{status="overload"} 0 ...etc EnumAsInfo will apply a single label which changes (therefore, if it ever changes, the timeseries will change; only use this for labels which are essentially static). Alternatively, you could represent enums as a plain integer stored as a numeric metric, and then in Grafana you map each integer value to a different label and/or colour.
