Beginner problem with WMI installation

[TotoLeHeros]

Hi everybody,

My name is Thomas and I from France.
First, sorry for my English and my level in Linux . I'm a also a begginer in the word of Nagios.

I work on a studient project of monitoring, with Nagios and Check_mk (OMD with Centos 6)

For the moment all the configuration work great with basic plugins of nagios and I check my network devices (router, switch) with SNMP on Check_mk.

I want to monitor Windows Servers without agent. I look for WMI check. Is that the best solution in your opinion ?
If yes, I have got a problem with the installation ...

I follow instructions of that : http://www.edcint.co.nz/checkwmiplus/In ... nalSession
and that : https://alexnogard.com/monitorer-window ... -centreon/

but it doesn't work ...

I usually have this message :

Code: Select all

[root@svr-nagios1 plugins]# ./check_wmi_plus.pl -d -d | head -n 20
Can't locate utils.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins /usr/local/lib64/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 .) at ./check_wmi_plus.pl line 313.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./check_wmi_plus.pl line 313.

Is there a great and recent tuto or someone to explain me how to install this plugin.
I think, I've got problem with the path of plugin with OMD installation and perl ?... But I don't know how to do.

Thank you.

I finally find the right path ... for pearl
But there's an other problem witch Perl

Code: Select all

[root@svr-nagios1 plugins]# ./check_wmi_plus.pl -d -d | head -n 20

Storable                           2.20     BAD       2.22

With CPAN I upgrade DateTime and Storable, without problem but the command give the same message error ?

Any idea ?

Thanks

Try this:

Code: Select all

or the "$ignore_my_outdated_perl_module_versions" setting in the conf file (/etc/check_wmi_plus/check_wmi_plus.conf)

I think it should be ok to change this setting to 1 like so:

Code: Select all

$ignore_my_outdated_perl_module_versions=1

See if that fixes the problem. I think the module versions on your machine currently should be fine.

Thank you for this answer.

The plugin work with the argument --IgnoreMyOutDatedPerlModuleVersions.
If it's not possible to soluce the problem, I will be used this solution.

With CPAN I download and install DateTime, and now it's OK.
It doesn't work for Storable ??

It's just to have a good configuration.

I've known of a few others who have run into this specific problem with Storable. It seems to be related to CentOS/RHEL 5/6 machines, but I never verified that.

There's nothing in check_wmi_plus.pl that actually needs the 2.22 version of Storable. 2.20 works just as well.

[TotoLeHeros]

Thanks for your help mcapra.

The plugin actually work great with Storable 2.20.

Thomas

Awesome! Did you have additional questions regarding check_wmi_plus, or can we close this thread and mark the issue as resolved?
