Morning all,

I’m trying to refine a few snmp checks I do.

My command looks like this;



This produces the following;



READYNAS-MIB::diskState.1 = STRING: “dead”

SNMP OK – “dead” |





----- working disk---



READYNAS-MIB::diskState.2 = STRING: “ok”

SNMP OK – “ok” |

----- working disk---



Anyone got any ideas??

Have I messed up the syntax??

./check_snmp –H xx.xx.xx.xx –o READyNAS-MIB::diskState.1 –C nas-drive –P 2c –v /usr/bin/snmpget –t 1 –r 5 –m ALL –v 2c [authpriv] xx.xx.xx.xx READYNAS-MIB::diskState.1 Now, as you can see from above, my disk 2 is ‘dead’ but Nagios reports this as ok. I’m under the impression I need to use the ‘–s’ switch to specify what is good and what is bad, based on matching a string from the output. To me, the output above would suggest that the returning string is “dead” so to get it to report that this is actually bad I should use “-s ok” as “ok” is the string returned on all the other disks that are working ok. /usr/bin/snmpget –t 1 –r 5 –m ALL –v 2c [authpriv] xx.xx.xx.xx READYNAS-MIB::diskState.2 Sadly, this doesn’t work as it seems that “ok” and “dead” aren’t the returning strings. Neither are 1 and 0 as stated in the readynas MIB documentation.

Have you tried --eregi="ok"

?
