Oh yeah you're right I also missed that. Your warning and critical values need to be undivided numbers, as all we are doing is altering the returned result.

so that fixed the issue but it is not changing from OK to CRITICAL or WARNING just start green

So you need to go back to this command:
Replace xxx and yyy with real values.

Run the command
Then run echo $? after the command
Do you get 1 when warning and 2 when critical?

ok i ran this command line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_snmp -H xx.xx.xx.xx -C xxxxx -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.12.2.3.1.1.2.1 -w 60 -c 80

the result where

SNMP WARNING - *65* | iso.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.12.2.3.1.1.2.1=65;60;80;60;80;


echo $?

(1) which is a warning that is working fine

and i also get a critical (2) when i adjust variables

What are you adjusting and to what value are you using to generate the critical message?

Can you post your current script please. I've tested and the snmp_exit_code is working correctly, so I suspect there is something wrong in your script.

FYI, going all the way back to your previous forum thread where you wanted to simply divide the number ... this was somewhat simple, and didn't have any warning and critical requirements. The answer provided was to show it could be done and give you the commands on how to do it.

Now that you are doing a warning and critical, it is going to complicate things, because the performance data is going to have the undivided warning and critical numbers and won't make sense in performance graphs. You'll need to work on this yourself, as it's getting out of scope of "helping you get the monitoring working" and is moving into "custom development".

here is my script

#!/bin/bash

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_snmp -H xx.xx.xx.xx -C xxxxx -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.12.2.3.1.1.2.1 -w $1 -c $2 | awk -F'|' '{split($1,array_left,"-");} {split($2,array_right,"=");} {print array_left[1]"- "array_left[2]/10"|"array_right[1]"="array_right[2]/10;}'

i believe this is getting more complicated than careto go i am not a developer but somewhat understand Nagios runs in the background i think the issue occurs with the AWK command which throws Nagios for a Loop

i would think that the script pass the Variable to the command and the command pass the variable to service config file and there it would take Warn and Crit

The script should be like this:

i ran the script and i got this i believe it should still show the value rather than 0

SNMP WARNING - 0| iso.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.12.2.3.1.1.2.1=7.2

and echo $?

gave me 1
