You probably want to use -w and/or -c for the thresholds. i,e, - -c 1,1 Will return critical is any of the polled values isn't equal to 1 However if you want to alert only if they aren't equal then you'll need something else... You can write your own plugin, but you could probably achieve what you want with service dependencies. I.e. set a service for one OID (AdminStatus I think) that doesn't sent notifications (notification_interval none) and make a 2nd service for the other OID that is dependent on the first one. Whenever you put an interface down it will cause the 1st service to go down (without notification) and the dependency will prevent alerts from the 2nd service.
