ERROR: running table : Received noSuchName(2) error-status aterror-index 32.

[Patrick Proy]

Hi,

This is a known issue of process check. 
The script does : 
1) Get the snmp table with index and description
2) Match with the processes 
3) Get the status of the selected processes

I've done it like this because it takes a lot of time (and ressources on the
remote host) to get the whole process table.

Problem : if a process on the remote host die at step 2, then the index
won't be valid and you will get an error at step 3....

I've added a "-g" option wich gets the entire table at step 1 : it can help,
but in case processes are dying/respawning very fast the problem will still
be here.

Hi Patrick,

I'm using your check_snmp_process.pl to do some process count checking on a
variety of Linux hosts.

>From time to time I get the error reponse shown above. In fact the
error-index can change (32,46, 14,42,16 etc)

I'm using the latest versions dl'ed from SF.

These plugins are running on a RH EL3 system that has plenty of
ram/processor.

Admittedly I've only got one out of 10 hosts I'm monitoring
complaining.	
The host in question is running net-snmp-5.0.9-2.30E.15 (Redhat) and
2.4-21 kernel.

Have you seen similar compaints? Is there a workaround (that doesn't involve
me upgrading the far end system)?

Cheers

jamie
