Smart UPS SNMP?

[Hari Sekhon]

To be honest, I have had similar problems on one or two occasions in the 
last year and a half and it's always been something subtly wrong in 
configuration. Nagios only executes the plugin the same way that you 
would from the command line, so I'm not sure about a difference of 
environment variables. If I recall correctly, the environment variables 
should be reset by Nagios, so perhaps if you are relying on them then 
that is your problem, but this seems less likely to me.

You could try doing a "su - nagiosuser" and then removing all 
environment variables and then re-running the plugin exactly as it 
appears in your definitions taking your macros into account. Remember 
that $HOSTADDRESS$ is not hostname but ip address specified in your 
hosts configuration file. Then the test should be closer to what you are 
actually getting Nagios to do.
