Using Nagios plugins via UCD-SNMPD

[Steve Shipway]

Hi, I thought I'd see if anyone has done this before.

I'm installing the standard Nagios check_* plugins on a server with only the
UCD SNMP daemon (IE, the one you get with Linux).  This takes generic
extensions, which are compatible with the Nagios plugins.  So, I would add
something like this to the snmpd.conf:

exec procs /usr/local/nrpe/check_procs -w 100 -c 1000

and then the output of the plugin would be visible via SNMP.  I can write a
simple check plugin - check_ucd - that I can query with 

check_ucd -H hostname -v procs

and it returns the plugin output and exit status.  Of course, you cant pass
any parameters.

Has anyone tried this before?  Am I reinventing a round rolling thing?
Would people want a copy of check_ucd?

Steve
