[Nagiosplug-devel] check_snmp.c

[Masopust Christian]

hi all,

i had a closer look at check_snmp.c and found something i don't like ;-))

as you can see, if there is no data read from remote snmpd (in my case
snmpd died), snmpget writes some messages to stderr, but check_snmp will
silently ignore these messages....

maybe a first (quick and dirty ;-) aproach would be:

>        /* WARNING if output found on stderr */
>        if (fgets (input_buffer, MAX_INPUT_BUFFER - 1, child_stderr))
>                result = max_state (result, STATE_WARNING);
>
>        /* close stderr */
>        (void) fclose (child_stderr);
>
>        /* close the pipe */
>        if (spclose (child_process))
>                result = max_state (result, STATE_WARNING);
>
>        if (found == 0)
>                die (STATE_UNKNOWN,
>                         _("%s problem - No data recieved from host, CMD:
%s, Result: %s\n"),
>                         label, command_line, input_buffer);

cheers,
Chris
