Hi,

You could also do a SNMPWALK on the hrSWInstalledName table 
(1.3.6.1.2.1.25.6.3) and extract the latest installed kernel version by doing 
some regex work.

Current as in installed, or current as in available?

We wrote this a while ago to see if the most recently installed kernel is the 
bootable kernel:

#!/bin/bash
#
# Check if current kernel is being used.
#

GRUBBY=/sbin/grubby
GREP=/bin/grep
UNAME=/bin/uname

OUTPUT="Current kernel running."
EXIT_VAL=0

if $GRUBBY --default-kernel | $GREP -vq $($UNAME -r); then
        OUTPUT="Kernel updated, reboot required."
        EXIT_VAL=1
fi

echo $OUTPUT
exit $EXIT_VAL

But as Daniel said, a trivial plugin it's NRPE calling the two-line routine:

#!/bin/bash
/bin/uname -r
exit $?

Or using SNMP:

define command {
  command_name  return_kernel_version
  command_line $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -o SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 -P 
2c -C public
}

The choice of what to use is yours.

I haven't seen one, but would be trivial to write one.  You looking to see the 
rpm -q kernel output or something like uname -a?

Does anyone know of or have a plugin that will display the current kernel level 
for Redhat?

Thanks,
