Hi Guys.
I updated the nagios plugins but no luck… same behavior…
Since snmpget works great from the shell, is it possible to use it instead of
check_snmp on the switch.conf?
Something like:
define service{
use generic-service
hostgroup_name switches_v3
service_description Uptime
check_command /usr/bin/snmpget!-v 3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3user -a SHA -A
v3password1 -x AES -X v3password2 192.168.254.2 sysUpTime.0
}
If it is possible, do I have to change anything on the commands.cfg?
Regards,
Pedro Röseler

a backup of your server is never a bad idea before making changes

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
regards,
Pedro Röseler

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.

So type in v3p4ssword#1 as 'v3p4ssword#1' with the quotes, and do the same
for 'v3p4ssword#2' and it should work.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and terror,
I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war on peace.
