Just because you asked. I'm not all that worried about it. The MIB is
obviously reporting an INTEGER value, but getting the units back is
confusing the issue.


temporary ~ # /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_snmp -vvv -H 10.1.25.11 -m
EATON-PWR-MTR-MIB -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.534.8.3.1.5.1.1.4.1
/usr/bin/snmpget -t 1 -r 5 -m EATON-PWR-MTR-MIB -v 1 -c public
10.1.25.11:161  .1.3.6.1.4.1.534.8.3.1.5.1.1.4.1
EATON-PWR-MTR-MIB::pwrMtrDemandKiloWatts.1 = INTEGER: 26 kilo-watts

SNMP OK - 26 kilo-watts |
