I assume you meant:
not
Code: Select all
rocummunity public 192.168.0.0/244
Try adding localhost:
Code: Select all
rocummunity public 192.168.0.0/24
rocummunity public localhost
Restart snmpd:
and test it again:
Code: Select all
./check_snmp_storage.pl -H 192.168.0.132 -C public -m "^/$" -w 2 -c 4

I have changed it on snmpd.conf and restarted the service i still have the same error.
[root@nagiosxi libexec]# ./check_snmp_storage.pl -H 192.168.0.132 -C public -m "^/$" -w 2 -c 4
ERROR: Description/Type table : Requested table is empty or does not exist.
192.168.0.132 is the IP of the server i am trying to monitor
10.0.12.45 is the IP of my Nagios server.

The issue is not with what host is allowed, as that seems correct, but instead with what tables you have given that community string access to. I need to check some documentation, and will edit this post to reflect what you need to look for if you do not post back first.
Actually, in terms of making this easiest, could you post the entire snmpd.conf and I will take a look at it please.

Try adding the following lines to the end of your config and restarting snmpd.
Code: Select all
group rocummunitygroup any rocummunity
view roview included .1
access rocummunitygroup "" any noauth exact roview none none

I made few changes in the snmpd.conf and it ssems to be working from nagios server, but still cannot make it work from GUI/Wizard.
[root@nagiosxi libexec]# ./check_snmp_storage.pl -H 192.168.0.132 -C mouser -m "^/$" -w 2 -c 4
/: 38%used(18921MB/50397MB) (>4%) : CRITICAL
