check_snmp WARNING

[Jan Scholten]

I don't get your problem:
chewbacca:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# ./check_snmp -C public -H myhost -o 
SNMPv2-MIB::sysLocation.0
SNMP OK - Level2, Serverroom 4
chewbacca:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# echo $?
0

What for do you need a -w for that? -w is probably usefull if the return 
Value is a Integer not a String.


create a check_command
like
define command{
command_name	check_syslocation
command_line	$USER1$/check_snmp -C public -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -o 
SNMPv2-MIB::sysLocation.0
}
edit services.cfg for
{
..
..
check_command	check_syslocation
}


And everything should be fine, but checking syslocation is quite 
strange, since switches normally don't wander around.. better place 
would be notes_url i think..
