Hello Guys,

I am running into a problem with Checking the Uptime from the switch.

while i am running theCheck_snmp Plugin from nagios i getplugin timed out Error.

i have tried both command to resolve the Problem but still it doesnt change the status.

CODE:

Code: Select all

./check_snmp -H 10.30.4.23 -C media -o sysUpTime.o

./check_snmp -H 10.30.4.23 -C media -t 180 -o sysUpTime.o

any Help Please thanks.

Can you post what it actually says on the command line when you run the commands? That would help us determine what is failing.

Hi hsmith

this is the Output:CRITICAL - Plugin timed out while executing system call

Can you snmpwalk the device?

Code: Select all

snmpwalk <IP> -c <COUMMUNITY> -<VERSION(v2c)> | grep sysUpTime.o

Mine for example:

Code: Select all

snmpwalk 172.16.0.200 -c holden -v2c | grep sysUpTime
DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (24376103) 2 days, 19:42:41.03

i run this command but get some syntax error and i think i am doing someting wrong with Version argument .

which version i need here?

thanks

[hsmith]

Try -v2c, I just made it that way in case you were using a different version. See my example I edited in my post above.

it just stucked and no result. i wait for the Result.

[hsmith]

Not being able to SNMPWalk the device means the check is going to fail. Can you try it without the grep command?

[SJ04]

Without Grep Command it give the longest list of SNMP Entires.

Please check the Attachment., i cut some running LInes from output.

[hsmith]

That verifies that they can talk. Do you know the OID of sysUpTime.o? That could be another way to check.
