[Nagiosplug-devel] Re: [Netsaintplug-devel] check_snmp usage

[Peter Hicks]

Hi Subhendu

I have loads of custom-written plugins.

check_snmp will read system.sysUpTime.0 and check that this is a value, 
and check_<platform> will check that all is well with a particular 
hardware platform, e.g. a Compaq server.

I use numeric OIDs, sysUpTime.0 isn't likely to change OID anytime soon :)
