I'm trying to collect info from network appliances using Telegraf. My problem is that the upstream image does not have all the MIBs necessary. Installing the package snmp-mibs-downloader would solve the problem. Now I would like to avoid baking my image just to make this possible. I would prefer to continue to use the upstream image so to make the rollout of newer versions of Telegraf easier and smoothly.

I was thinking to implement an initContainer for the DaemonSet of Telegraf in the helm chart.

What do you think? Do you have any suggestions here that are not bake my image.
