SNMP in LXC?

[dragon2611]

I think SNMP in an LXC container can sometimes behave extremely oddly,

I have a Container thats a LibreNMS box and by default it monitors itself, which I think is causing a problem as sometimes SNMP will go a bit odd and either appear down or just get some strange readings occasionally.

Like it's suddenly decided to report Nan for the cpu temps,

I guess really one shouldn't be monitoring an LXC container with SNMP but rather the host itself? (which is also monitored)

I always used snmp monitoring in virtual maschines, but for LXC most parameters are used from the host. Load metrics are useless now.
Temperatures, hard disks, fans, psu are monitored on the host. Network metrics work fine in LXC

I'm also looking for cpu, disk io and memory readings

Observium seemed to work just fine: https://www.turnkeylinux.org/observium but I can confirm the findings of the original poster, SNMP comes and goes, up and down, just like it pleases.
