Nagios-Plugin-SNMP version 1.2

This module extends Nagios::Plugin with methods to help developers writing SNMP plugins for Nagios. It includes easy to use get() and walk() methods; it also overloads the getopts() method of Nagios::Plugin to include parsing and setting of these options:

• --warning|-w: Warning threshold [optional]
• --critical|-c: Warning threshold [optional]
• --hostname|-H: SNMP device to query
• --port|-p: Port on remote device to connect to [default 161]
• --snmp-local-ip: Local IP to bind to for outgoing requests
• --snmp-version: SNMP version (1, 2c, 3)
• --snmp-timeout: Connect timeout in seconds [default 15]
• --snmp-debug: Turn on Net::SNMP debugging
• --snmp-max-msg-size N: Set maximum SNMP message size in bytes
• --rocommunity: Read-only community string for SNMP 1/v2c
• --auth-username: Auth username for SNMP v3
• --auth-password: Auth password for SNMP v3
• --auth-protocol: Auth protocol for SNMP v3 (defaults to md5)

This version supports delta processing and clustered queries (see perldoc for more information).

The module uses Net::SNMP for SNMP transport, so it works with SNMP version 1, 2c, and 3.
