Nagios Support Forum

I just upgraded to version 1.5 of the nagios plugins from version 1.4.15.

Anyway if I run:
I get:
UNKNOWN: could not retrive ifdescr/iftype snmpkey - 0-0

I can't get this to work at all with the -d, but it works fine if I use -k . It worked completely fine with 1.4.15. Any ideas why this is broken in this version? Thanks!

My supposition is that the description string is not getting matched correctly. The end of the description includes a "$". Is this correct? What key "-k" is working for this check?

If we can't get this figured out here, you might want to talk the plugin development team, or mail into their list at:

ifoperstatus can be a finicky plugin, they likely made a small change that caused problems.

Abrist,

$ in a regular expression means it ends with. I'm basically trying to prevent it from matching another adapter begins with this and ends with something else. I tried it with the exact description that the command would spit out and those didn't match either.

When you specify -k, you have to give it an integer number. For instance, -k 9 gives me the description "RAS Async Adapter". It shows me that it is up, but then if I run:

'checkifoperstatus -H server-01.mydomain.local -C public -d "RAS Async Adapter"' I get "UNKNOWN: could not retrive ifdescr/iftype snmpkey - 0-0"

Slansing,

Thanks for the tip. I'll shoot them an email about it. Maybe they can give me some insight as to why nothing is matching.

Let us know what they say! We might actually see your email come through on our end as well.
