• <item key =" "> </item>
The remote program will need to output some iteration of the following code to
STDOUT
:
<perldata> <hash> <item
key="data">10</item> <item
key="status_message">status message here</item>
</hash> </perldata>
The required value for
data
is the data point to be inserted in the database for time-series trending.
The
status_message
is optional and can be whatever text string is desired with a maximum length
of 1024 bytes. Remote programs that do not include a
status_message
still report the value and
status returned.
Requirements
— The Red Hat Network Monitoring Daemon (
rhnmd
) must be running on the
monitored system to execute this probe. XML is case-sensitive. The
data
item key name cannot be
changed and it must collect a number as its value.

C.4.3. General::SNMP Check
The General::SNMP Check probe tests your SNMP server by specifying a single object identifier (OID)
in dotted notation (such as
1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0
) and a threshold associated with the return value. It
collects the following metric:
• Remote Service Latency — The time it takes in seconds for the SNMP server to answer a
connection request.
Requirements
— SNMP must be running on the monitored system to perform this probe. Only integers
can be used for the threshold values.
This probe's transport protocol is User Datagram Protocol (UDP).
