If I use the command `snmpget -v1 -m /root/DELL_10892.mib -c public myserver powerSupplyStatus.1.1` I get the result : MIB-Dell-10892::powerSupplyStatus.1.1 = INTEGER: ok(3) I'm pretty happy with that, but I need check_snmp to report back to nagios. From the MIB I can see the following... DellStatus ::= INTEGER { other(1), -- the status of the object is not one of the following: unknown(2), -- the status of the object is unknown -- (not known or monitored) ok(3), -- the status of the object is ok nonCritical(4), -- the status of the object is warning, non-critical critical(5), -- the status of the object is critical (failure) nonRecoverable(6) -- the status of the object is non-recoverable (dead) } So for Nagios I expected the following to work… `./check_snmp -C public -H myserver -o powerSupplyStatus.1.1 -w 4 -c 5:6` results : SNMP CRITICAL - *3* Have I misunderstood how the warning and critical thresholds work ? Can anyone help ? I feel I'm close, if I can crack this I'll be set. thanks Matthew Joyce 02 9382 0051 | IT Manager | Children's Cancer Institute Australia for Medical Research </BODY> </HTML>
