<div><br>Basically the check_snmp plugin is losing the community string on the way through and replacing it with the same number of spaces.</div>

Expected behaviour would be an snmpget command line including the community string, which would return the expected result.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Current behaviour is that:</div>
<div>- snmpget outputs the help message on stderr (after complaining about MIBs)<br>- check_snmp times out after about a minute<br><br>Is anyone using check_snmp successfully ? which versions?<br><br>cheers,</div>
