[Pkg-nagios-devel] Bug#812837: nagios-snmp-plugins: check_snmp_int.pl can only check IF-MIB::ifDescr when in some cases it should check IF-MIB::ifName

[Stephane Lapie]

Package: nagios-snmp-plugins
Version: 1.1.1-11
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

Net-SNMP's snmpd daemon has changed behavior in Debian Jessie,
returning detailed information about the network interfaces in the
IF-MIB::ifDescr MIB.
The original information is still available via IF-MIB::ifName, but
check_snmp_int.pl does not check it.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Can be reproduced with the following command :
$ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_snmp_int.pl -H testmachine.local -C
haragahetta -2 -n ".*" -N -v -w 80 -c 90

   * What was the outcome of this action?
