Are you getting the "Invalid timeout value" error or the "Invalid timeout value" error?

I am not sure where do I need to specify the SNMP version for the check_snmp plugin's command line and what version should I put it.

Code: Select all

[root@ams900 ~]# nmap 10.180.50.100 -p 161 -sU

Starting Nmap 7.01 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2019-01-09 09:01 CST
Nmap scan report for asftp900.enclave.local (10.180.50.100)
Host is up (0.00035s latency).
PORT    STATE  SERVICE
161/udp open snmp

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.15 seconds
[root@ams900 ~]#
This is the 10.180.50.100 server

Code: Select all

[root@aus50ltasftp900 ~]# snmpd -v

The default snmpd.conf config file needs to be edited to allow certain OID's to be polled so it has to be changed to allow that.
I attached a copy of the file with pretty much all of the settings you may need so on the remote server, replace the /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf file with the attached copy.
Restart the snmpd daemon and test the command again.

I replaced the snmpd.conf file with your file and still seeing the same error

Sorry, I forgot to mention this, the file I posted you have to use public as the community string and it is also setup to only use SNMP version 2 so you will have to add a -2 to the command and change the community string.
Try this example

Code: Select all

./check_snmp_storage.pl -H 10.180.50.100 -C public -t 60 -m / -r -q FixedDisk -w90 -c95 -G -2

@tgriep, I tried the command that you gave me and it works like charm :)

Code: Select all

[root@ams900 plugins]# ./check_snmp_storage.pl -H 10.180.50.100 -C public -t 60 -m / -r -q FixedDisk -w90 -c95 -G -2
/: 10%used(2GB/18GB) (<90%) : OK
I was wondering can't I keep nag9899 instead of public.

Code: Select all

[root@ams900 plugins]# ./check_snmp_storage.pl -H 10.180.50.100 -C nag9899 -t 60 -m / -r -q FixedDisk -w90 -c95 -G -2
ERROR: General time-out (Alarm signal)

Edit the snmpd.conf file and change these lines from

Code: Select all

com2sec notConfigUser  default       public
rocommunity public
to

Code: Select all

com2sec notConfigUser  default       nag9899
rocommunity nag9899
Save the file and restart the snmpd daemon so the changes take affect.
