Because the MIB is broken and doesn’t have any concept of VRF awareness.
The workaround that I used on my ASR9Ks was to create a different context for the VRF in question.
This config example basically treats the vrf Inetv4 as the default vrf when polling with community blahpoo. It only applies to that community. I have non-contextual communities to catch my default stuff, i.e. my MP-BGP underpinnings.
It’s not ideal because you need to create two of the same device in Observium; one for each community (vrf and non-vrf), but it sucks less than the alternative, which is to not have this functionality at all.
! snmp-server vrf Inetv4 context BGPVRF ! snmp-server context BGPVRF snmp-server community-map blahpoo context BGPVRF snmp-server community blahpoo RO MANAGEMENT !
