What device/snmpwalk OID are you using?

If this is a new device, please link to the MIB(s).

What did you do that produced an error?

What did you expect to see?

snmp_exporter running with default config
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/prometheus/snmp_exporter/main/snmp.yml

What did you see instead?

It seems to choke on the scale setting on line 23224 of the default config, which is the only place scale is used.

This is not released yet. Will be available in v0.25.0.

I have the exact same issue on standard Ubuntu running in Virtualbox. Make like above fails and so does a docker build...
