I am trying to use check_snmp to poll an apcups device.
I have loaded the powernet mib onto my server.
I can use the ireasoning mib browser to communicate with the sdevice an pull its oids.
but when I try to use check_snmp
Code: Select all
$USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C $ARG1$ -o $ARG2$

When I use the run check command to test, I get:
Code: Select all
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_snmp -H 172.22.193.70 -C public -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.12.1.1
SNMP problem - No data received from host
CMD: /usr/bin/snmpget -t 1 -r 5 -m '' -v 1 [authpriv] 172.22.193.70:161 .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.12.1.1
what do I need to do tho get this to work?
Thanks in advance!

The fact that you are getting
Tells me either the host isn't listening for SNMP request, OR public isn't a valid community string on the APC, OR you need to be specific on the version of SNMP your unit is listening on
Code: Select all
-P, --protocol=[1|2c|3]
SNMP protocol version
, Or lastly, it doesn't have that OID

Code: Select all
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_snmp -H 172.22.193.70 -C public -P 2c -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.12.1.1
This would be for 2c. Note: it is a capital P
