Check_snmp Issue

[Dean Bishop]

Good morning,

	Why not check something with a more static value.  if you do a
./check_snmp -H 192.168.0.1 -C public -o sysName.0

it will return the system name.  This, if SNMP is enabled, will result in an
OK return code each time.


later,
dean

Subject: [Nagios-users] Check_snmp Issue


I've checked the archives and online for this problem, but any solution
I have found does not work for me.  My ultimate goal is to just check if
SNMP is running on a box; I could care less what any SNMP value is.  

As you can see below, if I do an snmpget on ifNumber.0, it returns 107.
That's fine and dandy since I don't really care what the value is.  If I
do a check_snmp to the same OID, I get 107, but it is a warning status.
If I set the warning range to 108:, it returns a warning state, but the
value of 107 is between asterisks.  If I set the critical range to 108:,
I get a critical state with the value of 107 between asterisks.

I know just enough SNMP to be dangerous, but I am obviously missing
something basic here.  Can anyone help?
