The following are a coupld of examples: check_snmp_ntpstat -H $HOSTNAME$ -C COMMUNITY_NAME check_snmp_disk -H $HOSTNAME$ -C COMMUNITY_NAME I have seen the faqs mentioned by you and it says the same thing as mentioned by you. But interestingly, error "Return code of 142" started to show up from version 3.x. I did not find that in any previous versions.

I have been encountering this strange error intermittently on a few checks. (Return code of 142 is out of bounds) I am using the nagios with snmp (net-snmp-5.2 & net-snmp-5.3) on a few servers. This normally happens with snmp-load checks or snmp-disk checks. I could not find anything related to this problem over the internet. Hoping to get a solution to this problem here.
