sysUpTime.0 was just an example!

I think check_snmp should only provide performance data on interger
values.
Just to be sure the performance data ist valid.

This is the expected behavior; chhek_snmp doesn't know anything about
TimeTicks

Perhaps passing -Ot would help, but it would require different parsing and
I don't know how it would affect any the the many special data formats in
SNMP.

This would be better suited as a feature request. However it would be much
easier to just write a local check (run trough nrpe or check_by_ssh) that
parse uptime.

Also you should keep in mind that the SNMP uptime is the SNMP daemon
uptime, not the server uptime (in other words you're ok as long as you
don't restart the daemon).
