Package: nagios-plugins-standard Version: 1.4.15-3 Severity: normal
Since version 1.4.15-3, check_snmp fails to recognize/parse strings properply that are transmitted via SNMP. My scenario: In the SNMP server, I defined exec commands whose return values are checked via check_snmp. Example (omitting SNMPv3 authentication arguments): /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_snmp -H HOST -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.8.1.101.11 -c 0 -P 3 -v -r 'FILE_AGE OK' /usr/bin/snmpget -t 1 -r 5 -m '' -v 3 [authpriv] HOST:161 .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.8.1.101.11 iso.3.6.1.4.1.2021.8.1.101.11 = STRING: "FILE_AGE OK: /mnt/backuppc/mount/kontrast-main/latest is 67478 seconds old and 1024 bytes" SNMP CRITICAL - *67478* | iso.3.6.1.4.1.2021.8.1.101.11=67478 Behind iso.3.6.1.4.1.2021.8.1.101.11, there is the check_file_age plugin. check_snmp from nagios-plugins-* 1.4.15-2 does it correctly: iso.3.6.1.4.1.2021.8.1.101.11 = STRING: "FILE_AGE OK: /mnt/backuppc/mount/kontrast-main/latest is 67666 seconds old and 1024 bytes" SNMP OK - "FILE_AGE OK: /mnt/backuppc/mount/kontrast-main/latest is 67666 seconds old and 1024 bytes" | -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.utf8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages nagios-plugins-standard depends on: ii libc6 2.11.2-7 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.23-7 OpenLDAP libraries ii libmysqlclient16 5.1.49-3 MySQL database client library ii libpq5 8.4.5-0squeeze2 PostgreSQL C client library ii libradiusclient-ng2 0.5.6-1 Enhanced RADIUS client library ii nagios-plugins-basic 1.4.15-3 Plugins for the nagios network mon ii ucf 3.0025+nmu1 Update Configuration File: preserv Versions of packages nagios-plugins-standard recommends: ii bind9-host [host] 1:9.7.2.dfsg.P3-1 Version of 'host' bundled with BIN ii dnsutils 1:9.7.2.dfsg.P3-1 Clients provided with BIND ii fping 2.4b2-to-ipv6-16.1 sends ICMP ECHO_REQUEST packets to ii host 1:9.7.2.dfsg.P3-1 Transitional package ii libnet-snmp-perl 5.2.0-4 Script SNMP connections ii qstat 2.11-3 Command-line tool for querying qua ii smbclient 2:3.5.6~dfsg-3 command-line SMB/CIFS clients for ii snmp 5.4.3~dfsg-1 SNMP (Simple Network Management Pr ii whois 5.0.10 an intelligent whois client Versions of packages nagios-plugins-standard suggests: ii nagios3 3.2.1-2 A host/service/network monitoring ii postfix 2.7.1-1 High-performance mail transport ag -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
