You may be able to get the perfdata again by specifying a warning or
critical threshold. The code changed lately so if it doesn't work with
an older version you may want to try with 1.4.14 (the version I looked at).
Note though that check_snmp runs faster without loading any mibs, which
is an important tuning for large monitoring systems using this plugin.
