Nagios Community,

I am having some problems with:

./check_snmp

Error:

External command error: Timeout: No Response from 192.168.0.29:161

From my Nagios server I can successfully snmpwalk the host 192.168.0.29:

[root@hq-nagios-02 libexec]# snmpwalk -v 2c -c 'xxxxxxx' 192.168.0.29 | more

From that same host I an snmpwalk localhost successfully.

Problem is now when I use the check_snmp script on my Nagios server I am getting the following error:

[root@hq-nagios-02 libexec]# ./check_snmp -H 192.168.0.29 -C 'xxxxxxx' -o ".1.3.6.1.2.1.25.6.3.1.4.159"
External command error: Timeout: No Response from 192.168.0.29:161.

I have tried all sorts of iterations of the check_snmp command with different parameters, however, still not able to get this to work ?

Nagios Server is running Nagios Core 4.0.7 on CentOS:

[root@hq-nagios-02 libexec]# cat /etc/issue
CentOS release 6.5 (Final)
Kernel \r on an \m


Client machine is also CentOS:

root@hq-schd-01 snmp]# cat /etc/issue
CentOS release 6.4 (Final)
Kernel \r on an \m

Any thoughts / help much appreciated!!!

I am able to execute external commands from the web interface!



Thank you,

Try adding -P 2c to your command:

Box293,
