Cisco check_snmp issue

[Robin Brown]

Hello all,

I am trying to use Nagios v1.0 to check the temperature readings on a
Cisco router using the check_snmp plugin from the nagiosplug-1.3-beta1.
I can only get it to work by leaving off the warning and critical
options, of course I can't alert unless I can specify what to alert on.
I get the "Return code 138 is out of bounds" error when run from within
Nagios and a bus error when using them on the command line.

Interestingly enough, I am using the same plugin to check on the router
power supply status with a warning/critical flag and that operates
normally.  Of course the number returned from that check is either a 1
or 2 for on or off.  The temperature checks return 2-digit numbers, I'm
not sure if this is the issue or not.

Below are the checkcommands.cfg and services.cfg entries:

checkcommands.cfg:

# 'check_snmp' generic command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_snmp
        command_line    $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -o $ARG1$ -w
$ARG2$ -c $ARG3$ -C $ARG4$ $ARG5$ $ARG6$ $ARG7$ $ARG8$ $ARG9$
        }


# Check Cisco stuff
# Working check for power supply status
define command{
        command_name    check_cisco
        command_line    $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -o $ARG1$ -w
$ARG2$ -c $ARG3$ -C $ARG4$
        }
# Working for temperature readings without the warning critical options
define command{
        command_name    check_cisco_temp
        command_line    $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -o $ARG1$ -C
$ARG2$
        }

# Not working for temperature readings with the warning critical options
define command{
        command_name    check_cisco_temp
        command_line    $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -o $ARG1$ -C
$ARG2$ -w $ARG3$ -c $ARG4$
        }


Services.cfg:

# Working check for power supply status
define service{
        use                             generic-service

        service_description             PWR2
        contact_groups                  router-admins
        notification_options            w,c
        check_command
check_cisco!.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.1.5.1.3.2!2!2!comstring
        }
# This only works without the warning and critical flags
# Check Cisco Temperature limits
define service{
        use                             generic-service
        host_name                       router-1

        contact_groups                  router-admins
        notification_options            w,c
        check_command
check_cisco_temp!.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.1.3.1.3.1!comstring
        }

# This will not work using the warning and critical flags
# Check Cisco Temperature limits
define service{
        use                             generic-service
        host_name                       router-1
        service_description             Temp-inlet
        contact_groups                  router-admins
        notification_options            w,c
        check_command
check_cisco_temp!.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.1.3.1.3.1!comstring!35!45
        }

Thanks and regards,
Robin
