Hello,

i was just testing this, can it be that we have to define the "cron" somehow?
A test gives me the following:

./check_snmp -H 172.19.21.151 -P 2c -C public -o proc

SNMP OK - No Such Object available on this agent at this OID |
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrProcessorTable=No Such Object available on this
agent at this OID

I added "proc cron" into the snmp.conf and restartet the daemon.

Am I missing soemthing'?
