Good morning,

when i try to control an appliance with snmp sometimes i get "Return code of 255 is out of bounds". Checking the appliance performance when it fails, i get 100% CPU.
Is there a way to convert "CRITICAL Return code of 255 is out of bounds" in a timeout error?

Thanks in advance

Which check are you using and what version?
Or is it a check you wrote yourself?

It is a check that i wrote that use snmp. It is very useful but when this appliance get 100 % cpu seems that it doesn't want to respond to an snmp query

Maybe you could build in a timeout in your snmp check and make it give another output and exit code

If the script is reasonably short, could you post it?
