Have you verified that you can access the data using snmpget? If snmpget
or snmpwalk
doesn't work, the plugin probably won't either.
As for updating the plugin, you could install the plugins on another
system and just
copy the one you need to your nagios server and try it (maybe create a
local directory
under your normal checks and put your checks there).

Hi Andreas.
Thanks for the tip. I tried with both double and single quotes but I get the
same error...
And yes, the passwords I posted here are just examples. :-)
I think I will then proceed with the check_snmp plugin upgrade...
I already downloaded the latest version of nagios
plugins(nagios-plugins-2.0.3) and copied it to the server.
My current plugins are in /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins
The thing is that I'm running a Full automated installation of Nagios(FAN)
so I'm not sure of how to proceed without breaking something else during the
upgrade.
Is it safe to do this?
tar xzf nagios-plugins-2.0.3
cd nagios-plugins-2.0.3
./configure --with-nagios-user=nagios --with-nagios-group=nagios
make
make install

Hello.
I’m trying to check the uptime of a Cisco 2960X switch on Nagios with
check_snmp plugin but I always get the following error:
[root@nagios]# /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_snmp -P 3 -U snmpv3user

External command error: snmpget: Authentication failure (incorrect
password, community or key)
I get the same error on the web console:
My switches.conf is like this:

This happens because the shell translates the hash in your password to the
end of the command and the start of a comment. You need to use either single
or double quotes around both your passwords in order for the shell to see
them as a single argument.
check_command check_snmp!-P 3 -U snmpv3user -L authPriv -a MD5
-A
v3p4ssword#1 -x DES -X v3p4ssword#2 -o
DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance
So type in v3p4ssword#1 as 'v3p4ssword#1' with the quotes, and do the same
for 'v3p4ssword#2' and it should work.
