<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am using check_snmp (nagios-plugins 1.4.16) to return SNMP dta from Cisco switches.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m using Centos 6.4, have all my MIB files included and netsnmp is happy so I can do something like:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>./check-snmp –H 1.2.3.4 -c communitystring -o RFC1213-MIB::ifOperStatus.5001<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And get:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>SNMP OK – up(1) |<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Where up is the translation of 1 from the associated MIB. Great!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The problem is that as soon as I add thresholds to check_snmp this breaks. E.g.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>./check-snmp –H 1.2.3.4 -c communitystring -o RFC1213-MIB::ifOperStatus.5001 –c 1:1<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This gives me:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>SNMP OK – 1 | RFC1213-MIB::ifOperStatus.5001=1<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So I get the extra info as expected but loose the translation of what 1 means. Bummer!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I can recreate this in Centos 6 running 1.4.13 and Ubuntu running 1.4.13 or .15.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is this change in behaviour a bug or a feature?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It would be fantastic if I could return the translated values back to Nagios and I’m sure I cannot be the only person who would really appreciate this functionality.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Regards,<o:p></o:p></p>
