Description

Would it be possible to collect Session Rate? Or even Total Sessions so we could calculate the rate in Prometheus? Specifically looking for the same values that are returned by these SNMP OIDs:

fgSysSesRate1 fgSysSesRate1 1.3.6.1.4.1.12356.101.4.1.11 fgSysSesRate10 fgSysSesRate10 1.3.6.1.4.1.12356.101.4.1.12 fgSysSesRate30 fgSysSesRate30 1.3.6.1.4.1.12356.101.4.1.13 fgSysSesRate60 fgSysSesRate60 1.3.6.1.4.1.12356.101.4.1.14

We could use SNMP, but the exporter is a lot cleaner.

Thank you.
