SNMP checks, using multiple snmpgets

[a.smith at ukgrid.net]

Hi,

   Im trying to get my SNMP monitoring a bit more informative. I want  
to monitor port status on ethernet switches (which Ive tested and  
works quite nicely).
Im using the instructions given here:

http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2008/11/how-to-monitor-network-switch-and-ports-using-nagios/

What would be nice is that in the out put of a give port, rather than  
just saying up or down Id like to also include the output from the  
ifDescr along with the port status. Logically this would seem to be  
possible, give the how to above shows in example 7 a config whereby  
you monitor multiple ports in a single command.
I tried this config:

check_command           check_snmp!-C public -o ifDescr.52 -m RFC1213-MI
B -o ifOperStatus.52 -r 1 -m RFC1213-MIB

The output of the command is fine, I see the string returned from the  
ifDescr first then the status of the port, but Nagios takes this as  
being an error state and marks the service as faulted permanently.
If anyone can understand that, do you know if what I want is possible  
to achieve? :P

thanks! Andy.
