check_snmp problem -- UNKNOWN status when no data received from host

[Assaf Flatto]

have you tried the check_snmp options for regex ?

-s, --string=STRING
    Return OK state (for that OID) if STRING is an exact match
 -r, --ereg=REGEX
    Return OK state (for that OID) if extended regular expression REGEX matches
 -R, --eregi=REGEX
    Return OK state (for that OID) if case-insensitive extended REGEX matches

Since you know what the string is , you specify it and if it is not the one you need - it should 
create a warning .

example :

check_snmp -H x.x.x.x -C public -o 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.8.13 -w 1 -c 1 -l "BlueSocket Interface 
13" -s "BlueSocket Interface 13"  
should give the output similar to " BlueSocket Interface 13 problem - No data received from host"
