<div class="Ih2E3d">> DC_VPN_Status OK - 1 | NETSCREEN-VPN-MON-MIB::nsVpnMonP2State.0=1;;;;<br>><br>> Normally, I'd think that it is an issue with the polled device not being configured properly, but since I can 'snmpwalk' it from the CentOS box in question, I'm not sure what to do.<br>
<br></div>Two things:<br><br>First, never manually check a plugin as root, as you often won't get the<br>same results you would as the user Nagios runs as. That probably won't<br>help in this case, but it will almost certainly bite you in the ass in<br>
the future.<br><br>Second, you've got the snmpget command being sent to the box... what<br>happens when you run that (again, use the user Nagios runs as)?<br><br>When you do an snmpwalk, are you able to see the nsVpnMonP2State OID?<br>
</blockquote></div><br><div>The problem actually turned out to be the fact that that OID-MIB association wasn't on that box. So I scp'd the contents of the /etc/snmp folder to the new box, and everything works perfectly now.<br>
