VMWARE SDK install broke WMI perl plugin

[mcockram]

I run nagiosxi on RHEL8.

I installed the VMWARE 7.0 Update 2 SDK following the instructions at https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios_XI.pdf. It installed successfully, but the WMI perl plugin started failing on all the windows systems.
I had to roll it back to a previous vmware snapshot.

Code: Select all

I wasn't able to reproduce the issue under CentOS 8. I'll be trying with RHEL 8.3 in the mean time.

Can you try running the following command to fix that file?

Code: Select all

yum reinstall -y perl-Devel-StackTrace

Any luck trying with RHEL 8.3?

Installing VMware SDK 7.0.0 U2 also didn't yield a broken system.

The "permission denied" error makes me think the permissions are wrong for StackTrace.pm

Try running this command to reinstall the package:

Code: Select all

cpan install Devel::StackTrace

If that doesn't fix it, can you try the following commands and attach the output?

Code: Select all

getenforce
find /usr/ -type f -name StackTrace.pm | while read -r fn; do ls -lad "$(dirname "$fn")"; ls -la "$(dirname "$fn")"; done
perl -MDevel::StackTrace -e 'exit'
strace -etrace=file perl -MDevel::StackTrace -e 'exit'
perl -MDateTime -e 'exit'
strace -etrace=file perl -MDateTime -e 'exit'
