Steps followed to installed SNMP manager and agent on ec2
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install snmp snmp-mibs-downloader
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install snmpd
I opened sudo nano /etc/snmp/snmp.conf and commented the following line:
#mibs :
Then I went into the configuration file and modified file as below:
sudo nano /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
Listen for connections from the local system only
agentAddress udp:127.0.0.1:161 <--- commented this part.
Listen for connections on all interfaces (both IPv4 and IPv6)
agentAddress udp:161,udp6:[::1]:161 <--remove the comment from this line to make it work.
using below command I can get snmp data
snmpwalk -v 2c -c public 127.0.0.1 .
From inside docker container as well I can get the data
snmpwalk -v 2c -c public host.docker.internal .

## Agent addresses to retrieve values from.
## format: agents = ["<scheme://><hostname>:<port>"]
## scheme: optional, either udp, udp4, udp6, tcp, tcp4, tcp6.
## default is udp
## port: optional
## example: agents = ["udp://127.0.0.1:161"]
## agents = ["tcp://127.0.0.1:161"]
## agents = ["udp4://v4only-snmp-agent"]
# agents = ["udp://127.0.0.1:161"]
agents = ["udp://host.docker.internal:161"]
## Timeout for each request.
timeout = "15s"
## SNMP version; can be 1, 2, or 3.
version = 2
## SNMP community string.
community = "public"
## Agent host tag
# agent_host_tag = "agent_host"
## Number of retries to attempt.
retries = 3
## The GETBULK max-repetitions parameter.
# max_repetitions = 10
## SNMPv3 authentication and encryption options.
##
## Security Name.
# sec_name = "myuser"
## Authentication protocol; one of "MD5", "SHA", or "".
# auth_protocol = "MD5"
## Authentication password.
# auth_password = "pass"
## Security Level; one of "noAuthNoPriv", "authNoPriv", or "authPriv".
# sec_level = "authNoPriv"
## Context Name.
# context_name = ""
## Privacy protocol used for encrypted messages; one of "DES", "AES", "AES192", "AES192C", "AES256", "AES256C", or "".
### Protocols "AES192", "AES192", "AES256", and "AES256C" require the underlying net-snmp tools
### to be compiled with --enable-blumenthal-aes (http://www.net-snmp.org/docs/INSTALL.html)

## Privacy password used for encrypted messages.

But in telegraf I get above error.
I checked the mibs directory using ls /usr/share/snmp/mibs
I cannot find IF-MIB file here even after installing
$ sudo apt-get install snmp-mibs-downloader
$ sudo download-mibs
How can I resolve this issue ? Do I need to follow some additional steps ?
SNMP Plugin in telegraf should able to pull the data from SNMP
