Check_SNMP question

[Aaron Segura]

I would just call 'snmpget' directly instead of going through
check_snmp.  You can modify the output so you just get the data you
want...

snmpget -Oquv -c <community> <host> <OID>

Will return JUST the value at the specified OID.  Should be pretty easy
to handle from there.

The problem with that being that I would have to customize said  
script for each OID I want to query. It may end up being what I end  
up doing though. How would I parse the output of check_snmp? it looks  
like it returns a string similar to "SNMP OK - 2 | SNMPv2- 
SMI::mib-2.33.1.2.1.0=2;;;; ", - I suppose I could just look for the  
"=", take the next character, and go from there, though. I have some  
experience with basic scripting, essentially none with scripts for  
nagios, however. Thanks :)
