Error on SNMP service checks

I have run into this error on multiple different servers when doing an snmp service check:
ERROR: Process name table : Message size exceeded buffer maxMsgSize
The check command I'm using is the check_xi_service_snmp_win_service.
What are the steps I need to do to correct this problem?

Can you post the check here as you would run it from the Nagios Server's command line?

You can open the "check_snmp_win.pl" in a text editor:
Code: Select all
vi /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_snmp_win.pl
Go to the line that says (it should be close to line 253):
and try increasing the value in the brackets. On my test box I have "10000". I am not sure what's yours, but you can increase it, and see if this is going to fix your issue.
Hope this helps.
