How about if you add a "-v" to get verbose output? Also, you may want to check the return code from the manual run on an OK resultx (for example, by running "echo $?" aafter your check_snmp command to make sure it matches what you see in the output). What happens in my case occasionally is that I install a screwed-up MIB for an unrelated service. It won't show any obvious errors, but it will cause check_snmp to return a warning result code regardless of whether the SNMP result falls within my thresholds. In effect, it's warning me that my MIBs are hosed, based on the fact that it got a non-OK result from snmpget (which is what check_snmp calls to do the actual SNMP getting). > Not really sure what they mean by: > > 1.
