[Nagiosplug-help] check_snmp

[csavino at hhomesltd.com]

Thanks Ian. I got it working by fixing some configuration problems. Here 
is what I did:

I have resolved the issue on both my machines. 

On my second test machine, I noticed that the net-snmp-5.4.2.1 got an 
error at the end of configure, missing lperl. So I installed several perl 
modules and then configured net-snmp successfully, after that I 
reconfigured the 1.4.11 plugins followed by make and make install. 
Finally, the check_snmp appeared.

The packages I installed were (in this order)

1. sudo apt-get install libperl-dev
2. sudo apt-get install libnet-snmp-perl
3. sudo apt-get install libsnmp-session-perl
4. downloaded net-snmp-5.4.2.1 from net-snmp.sourceforge.net, then 
./configure, make and finally make install

after that, downloaded nagios-plugins-1.4.11.tar.gz from sourceforge.net, 
followed by
sudo tar xvzf nagios-plugins-1.4.11.tar.gz
cd nagios-plugins-1.4.11
sudo ./configure --with-nagios-user=nagiois --with-nagios-group=nagios
sudo make
sudo make install

The other machine had nagios-plugins-1.4.13 installed. There was an issue 
with check_http and I think the install bailed out when it hit that error 
and did not process the rest of the plugins, including check_snmp. I could 
not resolve that error so I backed up to nagios-plugins-1.4.11 and had 
success.

This procedure worked successfully today. As time goes by and versions of 
packages get updated, it will likely be obsolete. The key was to force 
myself to look carefully at all the output of each step and figure out 
what the warnings and errors meant in terms of a final result. 

Nagios has been quite a hard dance to learn.

Regards,

Chuck

Try issuing ”make check_snmp” from the /plugins subdirectory; that should 
either get you what you want, or some kind of reason why it won’t compile.

I am having a problem getting check_snmp plug-in in libexec. 

My configuratiuon is Ubuntu 9.04 desktop, Nagios 3.1.2, plug-ins 1.4.11. 
After a successful install as per the Nagios Ubuntu Quickstart guide, I 
also installed net-snmp-5.4.2.1 and libnet-snmp-perl. Still no check_snmp. 


When I redo the ./configure in the plug-ins, it indicates that it finds 
the snmpget, snmpgetnext and Net::SNMP perl modules. There are no errors 
or warnings I see related to check_snmp in the output. 

Is there any way to force check_snmp to be created? If not, is there a way 
to manually create it so I can just drop it in my libexec folder? 

Regards, 

Chuck
