Nagios Support Forum

Installed Version: 2012R2.7

I installed the SNMP Trap Sender component today and ran the required script as root.
I haven't done anything with the component yet, but later in the day I saw that an snmp
check of one of our printers is failing...starting around the time I installed the component.
We don't do much snmp based monitoring so this is probably the only check affected.

running the check script manually as root works:
Printer ok - ("Powersave on")

but running check_hpjd as the nagios user fails:
No log handling enabled - turning on stderr logging ("Powersave on")

running check_hpjd as another non-root user gives the same msg:
No log handling enabled - turning on stderr logging ("Powersave on")

so I'm guessing it's some sort of permissions issue, but I'm not sure where to look.

or maybe not. I see the following when I run snmpget as root or nagios for one of the OIDs that check_hpjd uses:

No log handling enabled - turning on stderr logging

Never mind.

My MIB files are in /usr/share/snmp/mibs and were all owned by root with
some group root and some group nagios, but all readable by world.

I did a 'chgrp nagios *' and 'chmod 664 *' just to make them consistent
and suddenly everything works.
