<p class="MsoNormal">Morning all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m trying to refine a few snmp checks I do.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My command looks like this;<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">./check_snmp –H xx.xx.xx.xx –o READyNAS-MIB::diskState.1 –C nas-drive –P 2c –v<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This produces the following;<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">/usr/bin/snmpget –t 1 –r 5 –m ALL –v 2c [authpriv] xx.xx.xx.xx READYNAS-MIB::diskState.1<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">READYNAS-MIB::diskState.1 = STRING: “dead”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">SNMP OK – “dead” |<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Now, as you can see from above, my disk 2 is ‘dead’ but Nagios reports this as ok. I’m under the impression I need to use the ‘–s’ switch to specify what is good and what is bad, based on matching a string from the output.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To me, the output above would suggest that the returning string is “dead” so to get it to report that this is actually bad I should use “-s ok” as “ok” is the string returned on all the other disks that are working ok.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">----- working disk---<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">/usr/bin/snmpget –t 1 –r 5 –m ALL –v 2c [authpriv] xx.xx.xx.xx READYNAS-MIB::diskState.2<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">READYNAS-MIB::diskState.2 = STRING: “ok”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">SNMP OK – “ok” |<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">----- working disk---<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sadly, this doesn’t work as it seems that “ok” and “dead” aren’t the returning strings. Neither are 1 and 0 as stated in the readynas MIB documentation.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Anyone got any ideas??<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Have I messed up the syntax??<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks in advance,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Tristan<o:p></o:p></p>
