[Nagiosplug-help] check_snmp warning and critical not resolving OID from MIB

[James Michael Keller]

All,

I'm having an issue with some new service commands to check APC UPS 
status via the check_snmp plugin.   When the plugin returns warning or 
critical status it is not resolving the OID return from the MIB.  
Without a warning or critical setting, it is when used on the command 
line.  However in the nagios status for the service check it is also 
only showing 'OK - 2'.

It appears that $SERVICEOUTPUT$ is only getting set to '2' in all these 
cases even when the plugin return is 'OK - onLine(2)' for the check_snmp 
run without warning or critical settings.

The issue with this particular check is since nagios is only sending out 
the numerical return code, it's very cryptic for an on-call engineer to 
get a 'CRITICAL - UPS MODE - *3*' as the message text, when it should be 
'CRITICAL - UPS MODE - onBattery(3)'

foobar at foo.bar:~$ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_snmp -H 1.2.3.4   -C 
public -o iso.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.4.1.1.0
SNMP OK - onLine(2) | PowerNet-MIB::upsBasicOutputStatus.0=onLine(2) 
foobar at foo.bar:~$ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_snmp -H 1.2.3.4   -C 
public -o iso.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.4.1.1.0 -w 3
SNMP OK - 2 | PowerNet-MIB::upsBasicOutputStatus.0=2

Thanks in advance.
