I know this isn't going to thread right because I just signed up for the
mailing list but:
My opinion on the failure of snmp-agents and honestly all plugin
failures is that it should return UNKNOWN. This is what the status is
for. It's up to the individual implementation of Nagios at each site to
determine if UNKNOWN is an alert condition or not. I know several
plugins I've seen actually offer an option of how to handle service
timeouts and such (which would typically be the result from a failed
agent connection).
Chiel, was there a specific condition or return that you had in mind?
Maybe an incorrect index on a disk query or such?
