I am looking for help on using check_snmp with multiple MIB arguments....

for instance....would the syntax look like....

command_line $USER1$/check_snmp! -v 2c -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C xxxx -o IF-MIB::(ifDesc.(port) = STRING | IF-MIB::ifName.(port) = STRING | IF-MIB ....

basically I'm looking to tie a bunch of IF-MIB statements into my check_snmp string and I'm not sure if what I want to do is possible or not or how I would go about creating the string


Here are a list of IF-MIB statements I'm hoping to use....

SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0 = STRING #FDQN device name
IF-MIB::ifDescr.(port) = STRING #switchport name (label FastEthernet1/0/1)
IF-MIB::ifName.(port) = STRING #switchport name (label Fa1/0/1)
IF-MIB::ifOperStatus.(port) = INTEGER #port status (up or down)
IF-MIB::ifAdminStatus.105(port) = INTEGER #port admin status (up or down)
IF-MIB::ifPhysAddress.(port) = STRING #mac address
IF-MIB::ifLinkUpDownTrapEnable.(port) = INTEGER #is snmp trap enabled
IF-MIB::ifHighSpeed.(port) = Guage32 #port connectivity speed
IF-MIB::ifPromiscuousMode. (port) = INTEGER #promiscuous mode
IF-MIB::ifLastChange.(port) = TimeTicks #time since last port status change
IF-MIB::ifName.1 = STRING #vlan id (vl1)
IF-MIB::ifDescr.1 = STRING #vlan id (vlan1)
IF-MIB::ifAdminStatus.1 = INTEGER #vlan status (up or down)
IF-MIB::ifPhysAddress.1 = STRING #vlan mac address
IF-MIB::ifInUcastPkts.(port) = Counter32 #unicast packets (port) IfOutUcastPkts (unicast going out)
IF-MIB::ifInMcastPkts.(port) = Counter32 #multicast packets (port) IfOutMcastPkts (multicast packets out)
IF-MIB::IfInDiscards.(port) = Counter32 # ifOut....
IF-MIB::ifInErrors.(port) = Counter32 # IfOut...
IF-MIB::ifInUnknownProtos.(port) = Counter32 # ifOut....

The syntax would be:

command_line $USER1$/check_snmp! -v 2c -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C xxxx -o IF-MIB::ifDesc.(port), IF-MIB::ifName.(port), IF-MIB::ifOperStatus.(port) -w oid1warn,oid2warn,oid3warn -c oid1crit,oid2crit,oid3crit

However you can only have a max of 8 OID's per check_snmp query. Have a read of the manpage for check_snmp: http://nagiosplugins.org/man/check_snmp
