web GUI and command differ in snmp test results

[tecnalb]

OK, so earlier I figured out how to perform an alternate test of a host being up... I configured another host the same way, but my command fails ONLY IN THE GUI. It passes from the command line:

Command line:

nagios libexec]# ./check_snmp -H xx.xx.xx.xx -p 161 -P 2c -C public -m DISMAN-EVENT-MIB -o sysUpTimeInstance -r "Timeticks"
SNMP OK - Timeticks: (555273800) 64 days, 6:25:38.00 |


GUI:

COMMAND: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_smtp -H xx.xx.xx.xx -p 161 -P 2c -C public -m DISMAN-EVENT-MIB -o sysUpTimeInstance -r "Timeticks"
OUTPUT: Usage:check_smtp -H host [-p port] [-e expect] [-C command] [-f from addr][-A authtype -U authuser -P authpass] [-w warn] [-c crit] [-t timeout]
[-S] [-D days] [-n] [-v] [-4|-6]


Any ideas?

Let me clarify one item....

The first system I configured, I used the SNMP Walk wizard.

This one (with the failing GUI) I used the router/switch wizard.

I examined both hosts in the GUI to ensure the fields are the same, yet this one fails from the GUI.

First thing I would note, is that your second command is check_smtp not check_snmp. Second item, I would highly suggest against using the test command button as it is not run via the nagios daemon, but instead via apache and a php script which will potentially alter your command.

OK, yea, that would make sense... I have stared at that 1000 times today.... I'll go bury my head in the sand now...

We've all had long days :)

I'll be closing this thread now, but feel free to open another if you need anything in the future!

Ha, it's ok, it happens to us all! Let us know how it goes.
