Basically, the –l option to specify a label isn’t working properly when I want to use a label with spaces (in quotes). The check works OK, but the display in nagios as well as check_mk is wrong. I know that some may think that’s it a nagios issue, and it might be, but I thought I would ask here first … maybe others may have found a solution:</font></div> <div><font face="Verdana, sans-serif" size="2"> </font></div> <div><font face="Verdana, sans-serif" size="2">Here’s the check_snmp command I’m using:</font></div> <div><font face="Verdana, sans-serif" size="2"> </font></div> <div><font face="Verdana, sans-serif" size="2">/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_snmp -H target_server -C community_name -l "F5 Pool Name:" -P 2c -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.2.5.1.2.1.1.25.xxx.[…].xxx </font></div> <div><font face="Calibri, sans-serif" size="2"> </font></div> <div><font face="Verdana, sans-serif" size="2">Here’s the response:</font></div> <div><font face="Verdana, sans-serif" size="2"> </font></div> <div><font face="Verdana, sans-serif" size="2">SNMP OK - F5 Pool Name: "my F5 pool" |</font></div> <div><font face="Calibri, sans-serif" size="2"> </font></div> <div><font face="Verdana, sans-serif" size="2">Now that’s working perfectly – but when I look in nagios or check_mk, I see this:</font></div> <div><font face="Verdana, sans-serif" size="2"> </font></div> <div><font face="Verdana, sans-serif" size="2">SNMP OK - "my F5 pool"</font></div> <div><font face="Calibri, sans-serif" size="2"> </font></div> <div><font face="Verdana, sans-serif" size="2">And that’s not correct – the custom label should be showing. I’ve tried different quotes, escaping, everything. Now when I only use a single word in the label, it works fine, but that’s not what I need for these checks. I need more detailed labels that don’t have dashes or underscores separating the words.</font></div> <div><font face="Calibri, sans-serif" size="2"> </font></div> <div><font face="Verdana, sans-serif" size="2">I’ve had this problem in v1.4.15 and v1.4.16 - anyone know of a solution?</font></div> <div><font face="Verdana, sans-serif" size="2"> </font></div> <div><font face="Verdana, sans-serif" size="2">Thanks!</font></div> <div><font face="Verdana, sans-serif" size="2"> </font></div> <div><font face="Verdana, sans-serif" size="2">- Jim</font></div> <div><font face="Calibri, sans-serif" size="2"> </font></div> </font> </body> </html>
