Check_snmp Issue

Dean,
Thanks for the reply, but I get warnings (or criticals) no matter what OID I use.
[nagios at palpatine libexec]$ ./check_snmp -H ******** -C ******** -o sysName.0
SNMP WARNING - "********"
[nagios at palpatine libexec]$ ./check_snmp -H ******** -C ******** -o sysUpTime.0
SNMP WARNING - Timeticks: (509177416) 58 days, 22:22:54.16
[nagios at palpatine libexec]$ ./check_snmp -H ******** -C ******** -o sysContact.0
SNMP WARNING - "****@****.com"
I also got an email from Fredrik Wänglund (thanks, Fredrik) suggesting using "check_udp", but I get the following result; I've tried using both hostname and IP address.
[nagios at palpatine libexec]$ ./check_udp -H ******** -p 161
Host name was not supplied
Usage: check_udp -H <host_address> [-p port] [-w warn_time] [-c crit_time]
[-e expect] [-s send] [-t to_sec] [-v]
It seems that my box just does not want to use SNMP at all. :(

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

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?
