Installing Vmware plugin on NagiosXI

[vinish098]

Dear Team,
Our Nagios server is behind the proxy server .I am trying to install vmware plugin as per the documentation using below command.

cpan -f -i GAAS/libwww-perl-5.837.tar.gz

I also configured the proxy on Nagios server(Redhat 7.5).But Cpan Command is not taking Our Proxy setting.Will you please suggest us how to configure a proxy for cpan command to proceed further with deployment.

[scottwilkerson]

Did you export the proxies like this?

Code: Select all

export http_proxy=http://host:port/
export https_proxy=https://host:port/

[vinish098]

Now, we have allowed full internet access to Nagios Server without any proxy.

OS - RHEL7.5

And tried to install vmware plugin using below link:
https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... 1528958237

After successful install, we were again getting the same message in the configuration wizard to install it.

We re-ran all the commands, Below are the output for your reference:

Now you have all the requirements, have you tried running the wizard?

[vinish098]

In wizard, it is showing that plugin is not installed and its asking me to install again.

[scottwilkerson]

What version of XI are you running? And do you have the latest wizard found at
Admin -> Manage Config Wizards
Click "Check for updated"

If there is a newer VMware wizard install it

[vinish098]

Nagios XI - 5.4.13

Thanks for the help.

We have resolved this problem by installing perl-Nagios-Plugin which is available in epel repo.

Also updated all config wizards as per your suggestion.

Glad to hear it is resolved
