I've recently added the check_snmp_printer plugin to my nagios 4.1.0 box but I can't seem to get it to work. I matched the permissions from another plugin but i still can't seem to get this complie and run, any ideas what I'm missing?
nagios@nagios:/usr/local/nagios/libexec$ ls -l check_snmp_printer-rwxrwxrwx 1 nagios nagios 32656 Jul 17 07:37 check_snmp_printer
nagios@nagios:/usr/local/nagios/libexec$ ls -l check_nt
-rwxr-xr-x 1 nagios root 234782 Jul 14 10:56 check_nt
nagios@nagios:/usr/local/nagios/libexec$ chmod --reference check_nt check_snmp_printer
nagios@nagios:/usr/local/nagios/libexec$ ls -l check_snmp_printer-rwxr-xr-x 1 nagios nagios 32656 Jul 17 07:37 check_snmp_printer
nagios@nagios:/usr/local/nagios/libexec$ sudo check_snmp_printer -H 192.168.1.47 -C public -x "CONSUM ALL" -w 20 -c 10
sudo: check_snmp_printer: command not found

You need to reference the directory an executable resides in to run it, otherwise bash is going to hunt through your $PATH for the 'check_snmp_printer' command. Since the command doesn't exist in your $PATH, it will not be launched.
The proper method of launching the plugin manually is:
Code: Select all
cd /usr/local/nagios/libexec/
./check_snmp_printer

I tried what you suggested and changed the location in the commands file, also tried to run it manually this is what happened;
Code: Select all
sudo ./check_snmp_printer -H 192.168.xxx.xxx -C public -x "CONSUM ALL" -w 20 -c 10
[sudo] password for nagios:
UNKNOWN: check_snmp_printer: No usable 'snmpwalk' binary in '/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin'
nagios@nagios:/usr/local/nagios/libexec$ ./check_snmp_printer -H 192.168.xxx.xxx -C public -x "CONSUM ALL" -w 20 -c 10
UNKNOWN: check_snmp_printer: No usable 'snmpwalk' binary in '/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games'
nagios@nagios:/usr/local/nagios/libexec$
I haven't tried it in Nagios yet, whats next?

At this point we'll need the 'snmpwalk' binary. You can run the following command to get it installed:

Running Ubuntu, so i've installed YUM, but this is what I get when i try to install
Code: Select all
nagios@nagios:/usr/local/nagios/libexec$ sudo yum install net-snmp-utils
There are no enabled repos.
Run "yum repolist all" to see the repos you have.
You can enable repos with yum-config-manager --enable <repo>
nagios@nagios:/usr/local/nagios/libexec$ yum repolist all
repolist: 0
nagios@nagios:/usr/local/nagios/libexec$ yum-config-manager --enable
The program 'yum-config-manager' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install yum-utils
nagios@nagios:/usr/local/nagios/libexec$ yum-config-manager --enable <repo>
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'

In Ubuntu, you should be able to use apt-get similarly.

Sorry, was thinking of CentOS again. This should work for you.
