[hermy7]

I have some problem using check_snmp_int.pl to check linux interfaces eth0.
when i have configure the service, then apply the configuration it was come Configuration verification failed..

Code: Select all

  $USER1$/check_snmp_int.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C $ARG1$ -2 -n $ARG2$ -f -k -w $ARG3$ -c $ARG4$ $ARG5$    

config error snapshoot

The Invalid max_attempts, check_interval, retry_interval, or notification_interval value's are found on the "Check Settings" & "Alert Settings" tabs of the configuration.

Check these values and apply configuration again. The required items on these tabs are marked with a *

ah I get it, thanks.
now i can apply the configuration, but the nagios status show unknown
and the status information show:
ERROR: Description table : No response from remote host '192.xxx.xxx.xxx'.
why still cannot detect the eth0 interfaces?

Do you have snmpd server running on 192.168.243.106?

Code: Select all

 service snmpd status

if you run this what happens (replace public with your SNMP community string)?

Code: Select all

snmpwalk -v 1 192.168.243.106 -c public

Finally, in your service setup, did you put the correct community string in the $ARG1$ field?

i got some progress for the check_snmp_int but the value it still show eth0:UP No usable data on file (1 rows) :(1 UP): UNKNOWN status unknown...
I have check the linux snmp /etc/init.d/snmpd status.. it show running.
and I also can snmpwalk by using public community string....
what is the status information should display if running Check_snmp_int..

[scottwilkerson]

Just some verification. What command are you using?

Something like:

Code: Select all

./check_snmp_int.pl -H 192.168.243.106 -C public -n eth0 -w 200,400 -c 0,600

I noticed in your check command from your first post there is a $ARG5$ what does this represent?

Additionally, I think you should remove the -k flag from the check command from the first post

thanks scottwilkerson....
it take a while to display the in and out traffic for check_snmp_int work..
and I have also edit the monitoring setting to every 2 minute to monitoring in configure tabs..
Monitor the service every ____ minutes.
thanks.
