Monitoring HP Procurve Interfaces

[Martin Hugo]

Here is my command:

/usr/bin/perl ./check_iftraffic3.pl -H 10.4.228.2 -C <password> -i F24 -b 1000 -I 1000 -O 1000 -u m

And it returns:

Average IN: 3.63MBs (2.91%), Average OUT: 3.93MBs (3.14%)<br>Total RX: 1634.52 MBytes, Total TX: 2705.54 MBytes|inUsage=2.91%;85;98 outUsage=3.14%;85;98 inBandwidth=3.63MBs outBandwidth=3.93MBs inAbsolut=1713920494 outAbsolut=2836966927

I did notice that when I run the command from the command line (as Nagios user) it writes the file to /tmp but I do not see the file being updated by Nagios.  Plus, if I delete the file created by the command line operation, nothing get saved to /tmp when the web check happens.

I believe the problem is that the code being returned is not 0,1,2 for (ok, warning, critical) and so nagios doesn't like it.

When you run the command manually from the command line, what is the result returned?

 Hello,

I am trying to monitor the interfaces on my HP Procurve 5400 series switch.  I have tried both check_iftraffic3 and check_snmp_int.  The commands work perfectly from the command line.  However the web interface reports (return code of 255  is out of bounds) for check_iftraffic3 and (return code of 127 is out of bounds) for  check_snmp_int .

I am able to monitor all other hardware on the switch through Nagios just fine.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks.
