I dug up the documentation on the check_snmp plugin and it looks like you're technically right, we are using -r instead of -s for string matching. "-r" is for regex matching though, which should allow you to actually check for multiple different string values with the right regex.

Hi Dave, If you're looking to match values like you're describing you will likely want to change the TYPE dropdown on the OID you're selecting within the SNMP Walk Wizard. If you change the Type to String you can enter a literal value that you want to match against. The check result will return OK i...

Hi Dave, On the SNMP Walk Jobs page, look for the Controls column. The page icon (3rd from the left) will show you the full contents of the walk job, including the command used to create it. Try copying the command out of the output and running it on the command line to see what response you get. My...

Hi Lynne,

The best starting point for improving performance on your server is likely going to be this document.

Notably, you may find that Nagios Mod Gearman is able to reduce the overhead on your XI server by distributing processing compute across multiple workers.

Dave, I've gotten a fix implemented for the Match Type bug you identified. The issue is written up under #2495 and should be in the May changelog tagged under that number. I don't have a concise hotfix for this issue, but you can probably work around it in the meantime by just setting up checks usin...

Hmm, yep I see what you mean on the threshold field format. That should be changing but it looks like we may have a regression. Thanks for letting us know about that, I'll be looking into it today. In the meantime it looks like the other issue you're seeing has to do with validation issues. Any MIB ...

Hi Dave, I was able to isolate the cause of the issue with the help of your data. It looks like the issue is actually that your device returns multi-component indices for its OIDs, which we did not account for in the filtering the wizard performs. I was able to fix this with a very small change, jus...

A cut+paste of the job view should be fine, and yes redacting the creds is also fine. You can find the walk jobs at `/usr/local/nagiosxi/tmp` if you'd rather just drop the full file (redacted, of course). My guess without seeing the data is that something in the first row, containing the command use...

Both the error you're showing and the corrupted re-run form point to a parsing issue with the SNMP Walk job file you're using. We would probably need to be able to work with the exact file that is having this parsing issue so we can drill down on what the problem is. Feel free to DM me through this ...

Hi Dave, Does your XI system have MIBs for these OIDs? The SNMP Walk wizard currently does not display untranslated OIDs. Take a look at the file viewer in the SNMP Walk Jobs table for the job you're seeing zero rows on. If your output only contains untranslated OIDs, that would confirm the issue he...
