Hello,

Did you follow the instructions for setting this up in the Readme file? The plugin has a few requirements such as Net::SNMP.
Please update the 'lib' path at the top of check_hp to fit your distribution.
check_hp needs to locate the utils.pm library that comes with nagios-plugins.

You will need the Net::SNMP package as well. In most distributions this is
available as a package named "libsnmp-perl" - so make sure to install it if you
stumble accross an error starting with "Can't locate Net/SNMP.pm in @INC [...]".
Are you able to contact the remote host using an snmpwalk command?

Code: Select all

snmpwalk -v2c -c communitystring remotehostipaddress

Hello,

Thanks for your message. Are you running the snmpwalk command from the Nagios XI server to the remote host? There could be a firewall blocking SNMP traffic.
