[Nagiosplug-help] IBM Bladecenter monitoring problems

[Ian Rarity]

Hi all,

I'm trying to monitor our IBM BladeCentre enclosure with Nagios.  I've found the plugin "check_snmp_IBM_Bladecenter.pl" at http://www.nagiosexchange.org/cgi-bin/page.cgi?g=Detailed%2F2071.html;d=1, but I'm having problems getting it to check anything.  Running the following command as the Nagios user:

# ./check_snmp_IBM_Bladecenter.pl -H <IP Address> -C <password> -t System-Temp-Ambient -w 3000 -c 4000

Returns:

OK System-Temp-Ambient (2100) 21.00 Centigrade

So my server room's nice and cool.  But this check command:

define command {
        command_name    check_bc_ambtemp
        command_line    /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_snmp_IBM_Bladecenter.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C <password> -t System-Temp-Ambient
        }

Returns "(null)" in Nagios, and immediately starts alerting about it.

Does anyone have any idea why this might be the case, and what I can do to get Nagios to report the plugin status correctly?  In fact, has anyone had any luck with this plugin at all?  All the other checks that I've tried with it fail in the same way, but work fine at the command line.

Thanks,
Ian.
