The purpose of this was that since our cluster already has SNMP set up,
we didn't also want to run NRPE, nor set up passwordless SSH from the
Nagios machine. I couldn't find an SNMP query tool that took standard
Unix commands and tried to give sensible output based on that, so I
wrote my own.
First a generic command to SNMP translator Perl script. You ask it
something like "df" or "ps" or "loadavg" and it tells you the
information from SNMP from the host you're interested in.

The next is a Nagios plugin that depends on the first. Largely it's the
exact same syntax in usage, but with a "--threshold" argument to decide
what is WARNING vs. CRITICAL. Right now the only supported threshold is
Disk Usage by Partition, but I think if you look at the source, you'll
find it's pretty easy to add in things like total processes and such.
Homework: Improve the Nagios script to do other alert thresholds. Extra
credit: combine both scripts into one. Maybe only invoke the Nagios
functionality if --threshold is passed, otherwise act only as an SNMP
query/formatting tool. I may do this myself in the coming months.
