Hi all,

Someone was looking up a way to be notified when his servers where rebooting. The suggestion at that time was to use the check_uptime check that is in the contrib directory (= means, does not work right now and need some modification).

A work around for this, using snmp, would be to use the check_snmp check (latest daily release of plugins, with the range option.

So the command would look like... (in checkcommands.cfg)
BEGIN --------------------
#snmp
define command{
   command_name snmp_sysuptime
   command_line $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c 300:1 -C $ARG1$ -o .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0
}
----------------- END

-o .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0 = This is the OID uptime in seconds (I think) for everything that does SNMP
-c 300:1 = Assuming that theses are seconds, this option would let me know if it is between 300 seconds and 1 second.

You would have to do some tests to actually see if it is seconds.

Happy hunting. :)
