You would use `http://localhost:9116/snmp?module=if_mib&target=1.2.3.4&auth=foo`, and `http://localhost:9116/snmp?module=if_mib&target=2.3.4.5&auth=bar`.

I am fine either way, requiring a change seems long term cleanest. The generator would also need to support the new format. Sent by mobile; please excuse my brevity. On...

Retries and timeout seem linked to the module, to me. Even if it's the same hardware, some with full tables and some with route reflector clients, this is arguably a...

The logical consequence of this is that `--config.file` will also become multi-flag.

Should we only load `snmp_exporter.yml` and `snmp_exporter_*.yml` from that directory by default?

Our current thinking is at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BK_Gc3ixoWyxr9F5qGC07HEcfDPtb6z96mfqoGyz52Y and I will open a thread on prometheus-developers to make people aware of it, as well.

JTMS, this would be in addition to https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BK_Gc3ixoWyxr9F5qGC07HEcfDPtb6z96mfqoGyz52Y/edit ? I am wondering if we even need to remove `--config.file`. What would be the default heuristic of `--config.path` if no globs...

@SuperQ Implementing https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BK_Gc3ixoWyxr9F5qGC07HEcfDPtb6z96mfqoGyz52Y/edit#heading=h.jxn0lovs8rll first would make the considerations in https://github.com/prometheus/snmp_exporter/issues/628#issuecomment-875603434 largely go away. It could pull in `*.yml` by default and done.

I agree, the naming of SNMP is too well-established. Richard Sent by mobile; excuse my brevity.
