Which is totally okay, as it would not be good to expose the community
in the processlist.

Did you ever try to use the numeric OID?

$ snmptranslate -On SNMPv2-MIB::sysUpTime.0
.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0

'./check_snmp -v -H 192.168.3.1 -C public -t 10 -o .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0'

I guess the problem is, that you system doesn't know anything about
the textual MIB names. As long as snmptranslate can't translate that
to an numeric OID, this also wont work for snmpget.

Please doublecheck if snmptranslate can translate your textual MIB
name, if that works, it should also work with check_snmp.

Cheers, Jan.
