Nagios Support Forum

I am running a custom bash script on nagios 5.4.9 that sends an SNMP trap to our NNMi server. The output is not coming across correctly on one server. I use another script that sends the output across just fine. What could the difference be?
Log file and partial script below.


Thanks
Jeff

One of them is showing the host as 11.48.30.40 the other 11.48.30.40:162 (including port 162)

I'm not sure which is working for you but this is a difference I am seeing from what you posted

Can you provide the full bash script so we can view all of it.
How are the commands created in the Nagios configuration files that are used to run the script? Post them as well.

What does the bad data look like and how should it look?
Provide an example.

I guess that you are trying to get the output of this command and have it shown in the output, correct?

If you run the script manually, what does it show on the output?

If the output is very large, it could be getting truncated.

Also, the data is getting printed on a separate line which maybe why it is lost.

Try editing the script and change this line from to That way the data will all print on one line.

Thanks. The output appears to be working when run manually.
Is there a way I can prevent this from being truncated or is there a hard limit to the output length?

When a plugin runs and returns the data on more than one line, Nagios considers the first line to be the service output and all of the other lines are considered as long service output.

$SERVICEOUTPUT$ The first line of text output from the last service check (i.e. "Ping OK").
$LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$ The full text output (aside from the first line) from the last service check.

In the snmptrap command, you are only sending the nSvcOutput data which is only the first line of the plugin output.

That is why I suggested adding the $msg_text variable to be put on the same line so the plugin outputs all of the data on one line.
That way it should be sent over in the snmptrap command.
