Nagios Support Forum

What happens when you scp a file from the nagios server to the backup server directory with the username/password defined in the backup page?

I don't think that's true--NRPE and NCPA don't know the source of plugins. They just need to be in the right dir.

I'd advise you to do your research on this rather than believing me. I trust me but that doesn't mean you should.

If the wizard says you need the SDK, it means it. No SDK, no wizards. As far as I know, the perl SDK was depricated several years ago. I think there might be a python script on the exchange for checking vmware. https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins/Operating-Systems/%2A-Virtual-Environments/...

Basically, one minute.
I looked into less than one minute intervals some time back, and its pretty impractical in my opinion.
You can change it in nagios.cfg, but as I see it other things are dependent on it and things may get weird. I suggest you read the cfg file and docs.

Do the backups log anything to a file? If so the many log file plugins may work.

You might try installing Test::Pod manually.

The error message mentions a line number in the cfg file. What do you see at or around that line?
I'd probably grep the service name, host, and description from the file since I imagine there are many services in the file.

You probably want to look in the cfg file for the things the error message says are missing.

As the nagios user run:
/usr/bin/sudo /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_linux_mailq.bash -w 10 -c 20
You might try removing the -a too.
You could try some troubleshooting steps on your own as well.
