<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I was trying to use –s options to flag alarm depending on string values.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In my case, normally I should get “No failures” string. The string changes to others when there is an error like fan failure. I tried to get CRITICAL warning when the string is other than ‘No failures’. So, I used following command line:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">check_snmp -H <ip_address –C public –o <OID> –s “No failures”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, I always get SNMP OK and the alert status doesn’t change at all- no matter what the value is.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any suggestion?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you.<o:p></o:p></p>
