Summary: check_snmp_storage.pl 1.1 fails with AIX

Initial Comment:
I'm using the nagios-plugins-1.3.1-5mdk Mandrake RPM, which 
includes version 1.1 of check_snmp_storage.pl. 
 
I can make successful requests to the Linux SNMP agent 
(net-snmp-5.1-7mdk), but the following command fails to query the 
AIX SNMP agent : 
 
# check_snmp_storage.pl -H aixhost -C public -m /home -w 60 -c 
80 
Alarm at 15 + 5 
ERROR: Description table : Requested table is empty or does not 
exist.

To linguafr : 
The mib FILE is here, but ir doesn't mean the snmp daemon
handles it.
On linux, it should work : just try with the snmpwalk
command instead (snmpget on this oid will always fail) or
get the latest net-snmp version.

To vcuirassier :
I don't know much about the AIX snmp agent. 
The aim is to have the snmpwalk command give some output for
the oid, but I have no idea how. If IBM says it's OK, ask
them...

Did you give net-snmp a try ?

Note : Please continue this thread in the nagiosplug
mailling list : I can just put comments here, and I hate
writing in this small comment box...

turns out HOST-RESOURCES-MIB is an optional mib that needed
to be compiled in as a configure option.  It now works

According to IBM docs, the AIX SNMP agent implements the 
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB. 
 
But the snmpwalk command that you provided did not produce any 
output.

This plugin was never tested on AIX, but it can work on any
plaforms with MIBII compliance. 
Does AIX snmp daemon implements the HOST-RESOURCES-MIB ? Try
an snmpwalk on the oid "1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1" .
