check_snmp

[[email protected]]

We have been trying to get a check_snmp on using custom vendor MIB ( Dell Force 10 ) The snmpwalk works, returns data INTEGER=1 , but when we try to issue check_snmp on specific OID without -c -w params we get SNMP OK - Such Instance currently exists at this OID, but if we put -w 0 -c 0 param in check we get No valid data returned (Such Instance currently exists at this OID)

Can you show us the output of trying to do these checks on the terminal?

It looks like you also submitted a ticket. Do you not have access to the customer forums?

Check_snmp passively waits for a trap. Manually running it changes the status from pending to ok, but doesn't do an snmpget/walk to check status. I've been told (rather firmly) that "you can't snmpget/snmpwalk a trap."
If you want to actively poll the value, you need to use the right monitor. Have a look at the snmpwalk wizard...

Thanks @gormank.

We received more information in the ticket. I'm going to go ahead and lock this thread since a ticket is open.
