Nagios Warning Bug/Misconfiguration

Thanks for the quick reply!

Ran from the command line got:

# ./check_snmp -H 192.168.97.71 -o mib-2.33.1.2.4.0 -C secret -w 95: -c 75:
SNMP WARNING - 100 | SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.33.1.2.4.0=100;;;;

# ./check_snmp -H 192.168.97.71 -o mib-2.33.1.2.4.0 -C secret -w 95 -c 75:
SNMP WARNING - *100* | SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.33.1.2.4.0=100;;;;

So by intentionally triggering it again (remove ":"), it shows the *'s



Not really sure what they mean by:

1. Prevent check_snmp from loading the MIBs (default behaviour) by using 
numeric oids AND using the "-m :" option
