check-disk-snmp

A Nagios plugin to checking disk usage on remote systems via SNMP, using the values provided via UCD-SNMP-MIB:dskTable (.1.3.6.1.4.1.2021). This MIB table is used in favor over the others since it gives a fuller set of values, such as inodes used and percentages, as well as the thresholds configured for trapping.

Requirements

This script was written for Python 2.7+, but uses the Python future library to provide the print() function, and has been updated and tested on Python 2.7 and 3.9.

It also requires the installation of the pysnmp package using PIP.

Installation

At this moment, the installation is to manually copy the check-disk-snmp.py script to the Nagios plugin directory (e.g. /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins)
