[root at nagios mibwalk]# snmpget -v 1 -c public 10.1.102.40 SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.33.1.2.1.0
SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.33.1.2.1.0 = INTEGER: 1
[root at nagios mibwalk]#


Huh? - weird! why would snmpget give me 1, but walk gives me 2?

I am trying to get something to work in Nagios and my command generates a response of unknown, but the snmpwalk generates a value of 2
I also tried another oid and the values generated are identical for the snmpwalk and the snmpget

(the one for the upsBatteryStatus is the one I am curious about)

[root at nagios mibwalk]# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_snmp -H 10.1.102.40 -C public -o SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.33.1.2.2.0
SNMP OK - 0 seconds | UPS-MIB::upsSecondsOnBattery.0=0 seconds

[root at nagios mibwalk]# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_snmp -H 10.1.102.40 -C public -o SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.33.1.2.1.0
SNMP OK - unknown(1) | UPS-MIB::upsBatteryStatus.0=unknown(1)
[root at nagios mibwalk]#

Data from snmpwalk is below:

UPS-MIB::upsBatteryStatus.0 = INTEGER: batteryNormal(2)
UPS-MIB::upsSecondsOnBattery.0 = INTEGER: 0 seconds




try something like:

 snmpget -v 1 -c public 10.1.102.40 SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.33.1.2.1.0

Assuming SNMP-v1; try with "-v 2c" as well, to see which one matches your results. I don't have a commandline available to check which the snmp command plugin uses, but maybe this will give you an idea whether the snmpwalk differs form the snmpget result, perhaps an avenue to investigate further.
