SNMP configuration for Nagios: sysUpTime.

[Kevin Keane]

I'm not quite sure what you mean when you are saying "trying to get SNMP 
to work within the web interface of Nagios". These two things really 
have very little to do with each other. The Web interface is simply 
something that lets you, the user, access status information.

Any checking is configured in configuration files. You simply can't add 
a check in the Nagios web interface (although there are some third-party 
Web interfaces that do allow you to maintain the configuration files 
with a Web interface).

If you correctly configure your check in the Nagios configuration files, 
the result will pop up in the web interface automatically - Nagios 
doesn't care whether the check result comes from SNMP or some other 
mechanism.
