The snmp_exporter daemon reads its configuration from "snmp.yml". 

Because of the size and complexity of "snmp.yml", there is a generator called
"snmp_exporter_generator" that takes "generator.yml" as its input.

So, you always edit "generator.yml", call the generator and then (re)start the
daemon.

Unfortunately, the file "generator.yml" is unconditionally written by the port,
so you loose your configuration on every port update.
