Bleemeo monitors network devices using SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). A Glouton agent paired with a Prometheus SNMP exporter queries your devices and sends metrics to the Bleemeo Cloud Platform.

SNMP monitoring architecture: Glouton agent and SNMP exporter on a host machine querying network devices (switches, routers, firewalls, printers) via SNMP and sending metrics to Bleemeo Cloud

The setup requires:

  • A Bleemeo Glouton agent running on a Linux or Windows machine
  • A Prometheus SNMP exporter on the same machine, querying devices via SNMP (UDP port 161)

Glouton automatically detects the device type and applies the appropriate SNMP module. Devices marked with Auto are automatically detected. Others require contacting support to enable the appropriate SNMP module.

If your device is not listed or you need proprietary MIBs, contact us at with a snmpwalk capture. Generate it with the following command:
