Re: Ran normal YUM updates and now Nagios won't start

Well, as much as I thought I had double checked my file path - apparently I had it wrong. Now running the -v tells me that I had a problem with the hostgroups.cfg file and a listing was not valid. I edited it by hand and tried the -v again and it said everything checked out so I started up nagios an...

Ran normal YUM updates and now Nagios won't start

Hello- I ran some regular updates via yum that the system notified me about - via process I run in Webmin for my NagiosXI box. Now my nagios system won't start. when I run /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios.cfg I get that it can't open the main configuration file. Error processing the...

Addressing continual (nagging) emails from Stacked switch

Hi- I've got a Netgear Stacked switch with 3 - 48 port switches in it that I've imported into Nagios to monitor as a network switch. This is the core switch in my data center and all of my servers run through it. Lately I've been getting so many emails from it I could scream. It's monitoring Port st...

Re: Working through problems with Vmware SDK

Use yum's "provides" feature. Something like `yum provides "perl::version"` This should list all the pkgs that satisfy this requirement. We have constructed a system for doing this in our installer scripts, here is an example that installs "SNMP" and "Config::IniF...

Re: Working through problems with Vmware SDK

I don't think we're running the same VMware wizard (I'm using this one ). But you should still have a /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_esx3.pl check script from op5, so I'd try running that script on the command line and seeing what your output is. No luck. I checked that directory and I don't have ...

Re: Working through problems with Vmware SDK

This message is as indicated. It attempts to load the component and if that fails displays this message. Thing is - I have installed it - I've installed the SDK version4 and then the newer 4.1 that was released. I've installed it 4-5 times. Now within the NAGIOS gui via Firefox - trying to run the ...

Re: Working through problems with Vmware SDK

Sorry, I'm using a custom repository where I placed those packages, which I should have checked before giving you that command to try. I just went through the EPEL, Dag, and Core repositories ... looks like the packages that you're using are the highest available versions for a standard Nagios syst...

Re: Working through problems with Vmware SDK

You can update the packages two ways ... 1) via yum 2) via CPAN The easiest method is yum: yum update perl-URI perl-version Bugger - I was hoping that would do the trick - sigh.... I ran just as you posted and the system reported nothing to do. yum update perl-URI perl-version didn't do anything. I...

Re: Is update 1.2D safe?

Certainly - http://library.nagios.com/library/products/nagiosxi/documentation/249-upgrading-nagios-xi Many thanks. Worked out just how I'd hoped. Nice and easy. I love the scripts that Nagios produces for installs and upgrades. Pretty well thought out IMO. I'm now on the latest bld. - now to test t...

Re: Working through problems with Vmware SDK

This indicates that you should upgrade the Perl modules called "version" and "URI" without the quotes. Check with your OS Distribution documentation for how to do this. It would be helpful if you indicated what distribution you were using. Using full install OS - CentOS 5.5 32bi...
