check_snmp always returns OK

[V3xX]

Hello

We got problems with check_snmp plugins.
I start a query to get the status of a environment and it returns a 1 if its critical and a 2 if its ok.
The command in Nagios looks like:
command_line $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C public -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.10.4.3.2.1.5.0.3 -s 2

It should return a critical if the query doesn't result a 2.
But it always returns OK (whetever it returns 1 or 2).

This happens since we upgradet to Nagios Core 3.2.3
before we had something with 2.x.x

can someone please help me in this case?

thanks in advance and kind regards

I vaguely remember another post about this... from memory you needed to add quotes around the text to explicitly define it as a string. I also think that -s needs to match the whole return string not just part of it.

So you can try:

Code: Select all

command_line	$USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C public -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.10.4.3.2.1.5.0.3 -s '2'

If that doesn't work then:

Code: Select all

command_line	$USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C public -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.10.4.3.2.1.5.0.3 -r 2

Should work. Using -r specifies that it's a regular expression and will match part of the string.

Thanks for your help.

I tried both of your two examples, both didn't work...

I also tried this

Code: Select all

command_line   $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C public -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.10.4.3.2.1.5.0.3 -r '2'

someone has a older Nagios Core (2.x.x), who can get me the check_snmp?
I didn't find it anywhere on internet.
Maybe it helps, if i change this plugin.

Has someone any other ideas?


Thanks and kind regards

Check_snmp and all the other plugins are not actually part of Nagios, they are a separate package maintained by different developers. You can find all versions of the nagios-plugins package on the development teams source-forge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/nagiosp ... agiosplug/

It might also be worth asking the question on the dev teams support mailing list, so that if there is a legitimate bug they can fix it: http://nagiosplugins.org/support

The SNMP check should still behave the same with the latest version of Nagios Core, what did you get when you tried what Jsmurphy suggested?

Hi slansing,

I tried many different ways to get a correct syntax.
Everytime it returned OK if there was a 1 or a 2 as result.
