Process check snmp error

[Mark Frasa]

Hello Again,

Perhaps this has something to do with the following (source:
http://www.apps.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2089.html#sec-A.1)

2.5 Mapping SNMPv2 SMI into SNMPv1
The SNMPv2 SMI (RFC1902 [2]) defines basically one new syntax that is
problematic for SNMPv1 managers. That is the syntax Counter64. All the
others can be handled by SNMPv1 managers. 
The net impact on bi-lingual agents is that they should make sure that they
never return a varBind with a Counter64 value to an SNMPv1 manager. 
The best accepted practice is to consider such object instances implicitly
excluded from the view. So: 
. On an SNMPv1 GET request, we return an error-status of noSuchName and the
error-index is set to the varBind that causes this error.

When I use check_snmp_process.pl -2 it seems not to happen.

Can anybody confirm this?

Cheers,
Mark

Subject: [Nagios-users] Process check snmp error

Hello,

We use nagios to check some processes on remote boxes (LAN).
Every once in a while I get errors like these:

ERROR: running table : Received noSuchName(2) error-status at error-index
50.

And the next check:
1 process matching nagios (0)

I have googled for this error as well but could not find anything related to
this, and it seems like the error-index is not always the same.
There are some hints on that the community name is wrong or not RW, but
that's simply not the case, since after a few minutes I get an OK back.

I am using check_snmp_process.pl version: 1.4 Though I have tried version
1.10 from http://nagios.manubulon.com/snmp_process.html it seems to have the
same errors, so I think its not related to the check itself.
The OS on the box is Debian.

I caught a error with the -v option, so we can see whats going on:
