[Nagiosplug-help] check_snmp string parsing not working

[Gothard, Morgan]

Sometime between 1.4.11 and 1.4.15 this plugin stopped parsing string output.  The result of this is that all my check commands that use the --string or --regex options now *always* return an OK result.  If checked this with multiple MIBs, OIDs, and devices.

Version 1.4.11 output:

./check_snmp --protocol=2c --hostname=host1 --community=public --oid=CISCO-FIREWALL-MIB::cfwHardwareStatusValue.primaryUnit -r active -vvvv
/usr/bin/snmpget -t 1 -r 5 -m ALL -v 2c -c public host1:161  CISCO-FIREWALL-MIB::cfwHardwareStatusValue.primaryUnit
CISCO-FIREWALL-MIB::cfwHardwareStatusValue.primaryUnit = INTEGER: active(9)

SNMP OK - active(9) | CISCO-FIREWALL-MIB::cfwHardwareStatusValue.primaryUnit=active(9)


Version 1.4.15 output:

./check_snmp --protocol=2c --hostname=host1 --community=public --oid=CISCO-FIREWALL-MIB::cfwHardwareStatusValue.primaryUnit -r active  -vvvv
/usr/bin/snmpget -t 1 -r 5 -m ALL -v 2c [authpriv] host1:161 CISCO-FIREWALL-MIB::cfwHardwareStatusValue.primaryUnit
CISCO-FIREWALL-MIB::cfwHardwareStatusValue.primaryUnit = INTEGER: active(9)
Processing oid 1 (line 1)
  oidname: CISCO-FIREWALL-MIB::cfwHardwareStatusValue.primaryUnit
  response:  = INTEGER: active(9)
SNMP OK - 9 | CISCO-FIREWALL-MIB::cfwHardwareStatusValue.primaryUnit=9
