check_snmp remove leading 'SNMP' from alert

[snapon_admin]

This may seem minor, but is there an easy way to remove the leading SNMP from check_snmp alerts. Currently an alert will look like this:

Code: Select all

SNMP OK - CPU Load 36 %

I'd like to remove the SNMP part of that as it's unnecessary for us so that it just says:

Code: Select all

OK - CPU Load 36 %

I think you'd have to change this line, then recompile the plugin:
https://github.com/nagios-plugins/nagio ... nmp.c#L225

Code: Select all

[root@nagios ~]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_snmp -H 127.0.0.1 -P 2c -C 209ijvfwer0df92jd -o 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.3.1
SNMP OK - No Such Object available on this agent at this OID |

Then after changing the line and recompiling:

Code: Select all

# check_snmp.c #L225
label = strdup ("");

...

[root@nagios ~]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_snmp -H 127.0.0.1 -P 2c -C 209ijvfwer0df92jd -o 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.3.1
 OK - No Such Object available on this agent at this OID |

Those changes *might* not persist through regular updates to Nagios XI, though. You could also write a wrapper script to sed
or awk away the "SNMP", though it'd be a bit more work and you need to be mindful of preserving the Unix exit code when doing that.
