check_snmp timeout

[nick-scs]

I'm hoping for some help with check_snmp. I can query an OID with snmpget:

Code: Select all

sudo -u nagios snmpget -v3 -u SNMPUSER -l authPriv -a SHA -A "AUTHPASS" -x AES -X "PRIVPASS" HOST.FQDN 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.8.818

This works...

Code: Select all

iso.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.8.818 = INTEGER: 1

When I try to use check_snmp I get a timeout:

Code: Select all

sudo -u nagios ./check_snmp -H HOST.FQDN —P 3 -U SNMPUSER -L authPriv -a SHA -A "AUTHPASS" -x AES -X "PRIVPASS" -o 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.8.818 -v

/usr/bin/snmpget -Le -t 3 -r 5 -m '' -v 1 [context] [authpriv] HOST.FQDN:161 .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.8.818
CRITICAL - Plugin timed out while executing system call

I have tried adding -t to give it more time but no luck, it also looks to me as though its trying to run getsnmp with version 1, have used --protocol=3 but get the same. Any ideas gratefully recieved.

Thanks!

--protocol needed to be the first argument

Hi @nick-scs,

It looks like you solved your issue, if I'm understanding your posts correctly. Do you need any further help with this, or should I close the topic?
