error general time-out (alarm signal)

[shamrozkadiwal]

I changed the t value to 60 in the command.cfg file and also change the value of service_chceck_timeout=60 but having same error

[tgriep]

Are you getting the "Invalid timeout value" error or the "Invalid timeout value" error?

[shamrozkadiwal]

getting "error general time-out (alarm signal)"

I am not sure where do I need to specify the SNMP version for the check_snmp plugin's command line and what version should I put it.

Code: Select all

[root@ams900 ~]# nmap 10.180.50.100 -p 161 -sU

Starting Nmap 7.01 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2019-01-09 09:01 CST

This is the 10.180.50.100 server

The default snmpd.conf config file needs to be edited to allow certain OID's to be polled so it has to be changed to allow that.
I attached a copy of the file with pretty much all of the settings you may need so on the remote server, replace the /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf file with the attached copy.
Restart the snmpd daemon and test the command again.

I replaced the snmpd.conf file with your file and still seeing the same error

Sorry, I forgot to mention this, the file I posted you have to use public as the community string and it is also setup to only use SNMP version 2 so you will have to add a -2 to the command and change the community string.
Try this example

Code: Select all

./check_snmp_storage.pl -H 10.180.50.100 -C public -t 60 -m / -r -q FixedDisk -w90 -c95 -G -2

@tgriep, I tried the command that you gave me and it works like charm

Code: Select all

[root@ams900 plugins]# ./check_snmp_storage.pl -H 10.180.50.100 -C public -t 60 -m / -r -q FixedDisk -w90 -c95 -G -2
/: 10%used(2GB/18GB) (<90%) : OK

I was wondering can't I keep nag9899 instead of public.

Code: Select all

[root@ams900 plugins]# ./check_snmp_storage.pl -H 10.180.50.100 -C nag9899 -t 60 -m / -r -q FixedDisk -w90 -c95 -G -2
ERROR: General time-out (Alarm signal)

[tgriep]

Edit the snmpd.conf file and change these lines from

Code: Select all

com2sec notConfigUser  default       public
rocommunity public

to

Code: Select all

com2sec notConfigUser  default       nag9899
rocommunity nag9899

Save the file and restart the snmpd daemon so the changes take affect.

Awesome! Everything looks good now. Thanks for help
