Why does my password or snmpcommunity with "!" not work?

Question Copied


Why doesn’t my configured check work if i have a “!” in my password or SNMP Community?

Answer Copied


Since “!” is used as a separator in “check_command_args” in OP5 Monitor, you will need to escape the sign “!” with a “" (backslash) to make op5 Monitor interper the character as input and not a separator.

Example Copied

check_command_args: username!passw0r\!d!warning!critical
