experience with check_sasraid_megaraid for Dell PERC 4?

[Bo Gusman]

Progress, of sorts.

I installed nagios on another CentOS box to ensure that you and I are 
working from the same essential config. Had exactly the same perl errors 
as before. Doing some debugging of the script, it occurred to me that 
the first error

	substr outside of string at ./check_sasraid_megaraid.pl line 461.

was a great big clue perhaps the script wasn't getting anything back from the percsnmp daemon on the monitored box. 

Since I was running snmpd using the default snmpd.conf, I figured that since I'm only going to use the percsnmpd, why not  symlink percsnmpd.conf to snmpd.conf and try again. This got me much further, though still with errors:

	snmp error: No response from remote host 'bullwinkle'
	Megaraid UNKNON - could not retrieve snmp table blah blah

OK, so I'm guessing that something is broken in my snmp config. Guess it's time to try to figure that out. RTFM, as they say!
