Nagios Support Forum

I have some problem using check_snmp_int.pl to check linux interfaces eth0.
when i have configure the service, then apply the configuration it was come Configuration verification failed..
config error snapshoot

Processing object config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/services/192.xxx.xxx.xx.cfg'...
Processing object config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/services/localhost.cfg'...
Error: Invalid max_attempts, check_interval, retry_interval, or notification_interval value for service 'eth0' on host '192.xxx.xxx.xx'
Error: Could not register service (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/services/check interfaces.cfg', starting on line 14)
Error processing object config files!

The Invalid max_attempts, check_interval, retry_interval, or notification_interval value's are found on the "Check Settings" & "Alert Settings" tabs of the configuration.

Check these values and apply configuration again. The required items on these tabs are marked with a *

ah I get it, thanks.
now i can apply the configuration, but the nagios status show unknown
and the status information show:
ERROR: Description table : No response from remote host '192.xxx.xxx.xxx'.
why still cannot detect the eth0 interfaces?

Do you have snmpd server running on 192.168.243.106? if you run this what happens (replace public with your SNMP community string)? Finally, in your service setup, did you put the correct community string in the $ARG1$ field?

i got some progress for the check_snmp_int but the value it still show eth0:UP No usable data on file (1 rows) :(1 UP): UNKNOWN status unknown...
I have check the linux snmp /etc/init.d/snmpd status.. it show running.
and I also can snmpwalk by using public community string....
what is the status information should display if running Check_snmp_int..

Just some verification. What command are you using?

Something like: I noticed in your check command from your first post there is a $ARG5$ what does this represent?

Additionally, I think you should remove the -k flag from the check command from the first post

thanks scottwilkerson....
it take a while to display the in and out traffic for check_snmp_int work..
and I have also edit the monitoring setting to every 2 minute to monitoring in configure tabs..
Monitor the service every ____ minutes.
thanks.
