CRITICAL - Plugin timed out while executing system call

Post by manishdixit »

Hi,

I am using Nagios® Core™ Version 4.2.1 on cent OS 6.5. I am monitoring router/server ping and uptime.
When i see the dashbaord in host/services ping is working fine but uptime is not working giving error " CRITICAL - Plugin timed out while executing system call "
I have checked net-snmp rpm on cent os and it is installed. Please support how to do that (please find the attached error snapshot)

but when i am trying to do snmpget -v1 -cpublic 172.16.0.216 iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0

I am getting
Timeout: No Response from 172.16.0.216.

Are the other services using SNMP as well? Does this MIB exist on the client machine?

What happens if you increase the timeout with -t on your snmpget to 120? Please show us the full input / output.

Code: Select all

General communication options
  -r RETRIES            set the number of retries
  -t TIMEOUT            set the request timeout (in seconds)

Hi,

When i am trying to take system uptime from local

snmpget -v2c -c public localhost sysUpTime.0

its giving correct answer

I am using cisco SG 500/300 switches. How can i ensure that this MIB exist on the switch.

cisco switch OID is 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.6.1.81.28.1

It sounds like this issue has been resolved. Is it okay if we lock this thread? Thanks for choosing the Nagios forums!
