[Nagios-snmp-users] RE: ERROR: running table : Received noSuchName(2) error-status aterror-index 32.

Hi,

host.hrSystem.hrSystemProcesses.0 gives the total number of processes on the
host without any filtering.

It would be like running my script with * as filter, which is not the aim of
the script.

Thanks for the prompt and detailed reply. I appreciate it. I'll try -g.

Have you considered using:

host.hrSystem.hrSystemProcesses.0 ?

This seems to report a process count, but I'm thinking you discounted this
for some reason, so am interested if that's the case - was it to do with
dealing with multiprocessors?

cheers
