Missing package snmp (prerequistite for the built-in check_snmp)

[dominik-r-s]

The built-in command check_snmp does not work because the binary snmpget is not installed.

icinga@icinga-icinga2-0:/$ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_snmp -v -C xxx -H yyy ... -v
/usr/bin/snmpget -Le -t 60 -r 5 -m ...
External command error with no output (return code: 3)
icinga@icinga-icinga2-0:/$ /usr/bin/snmpget
bash: /usr/bin/snmpget: No such file or directory

@dominik-r-s I've just switched over my Icinga SNMP image to build Icinga using Nix. Nix manages the dependency on snmpget for check_snmp correctly.

Thanks for creating this issue and please excuse the silence afterwards.

Using the 2.14 image I was unable to reproduce this, as snmpget - being part of the snmp package - seems to be available since faecd36aa647f294a6a35114ee663889ba520ae7.

$ docker run --pull=always -t -it --rm icinga/icinga2:2.14 bash

@dominik-r-s: Which version of the Docker image are you using? Could you please verify if this error is still present after updating the local image?

@jwillikers: On first glance, I really like your solution and I hope I can take a closer look in the future :)
