Problem with monitoring Windows 2012 R2 servers

[sreinhardt]

You can try updating with yum, most of those packages should be available from it. Although it then depends on what Cent\RHEL version you are running. Let's try those updates, and see how it goes from there.

Code: Select all

yum install perl perl-Data-Dumper perl-Getopt-Long perl-Getopt-Auto perl-Getopt-Long-Descriptive perl-Getopt-Mixed

Provided you have rpmforge and epel per our standard installer, most if not all of these packages should be available and ready for an update. Once they are updated, try the plugin again and see what results we get.

Do you get any warnings/errors, while viewing the plugin's usage?

Code: Select all

./check_wmi_plus_latest.pl -h

Have you tried overriding the warning by using the "--IgnoreMyOutDatedPerlModuleVersions"?

What is the output of the following commands?

Code: Select all

cat /etc/*release
uname -a
grep "our \$base_dir=" /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_wmi_plus_latest.pl
which wmic
grep "our \$wmic_command=" /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_wmi_plus_latest.pl

Let's try to modify the "check_wmi_plus_latest.pl" plugin a bit. Change the following lines from this:

Code: Select all

our $base_dir='/opt/nagios/bin/plugins';
our $wmic_command="/bin/wmic";

to this:

Code: Select all

our $base_dir='/usr/local/nagios/libexec';
our $wmic_command="/usr/local/bin/wmic";

Also, if you are not using ini file, set:

Code: Select all

our $wmi_ini_file='';

Let me know if this helped. Thanks!

[Frédéric GRANAT]

Hi,
No impact, still have the problem.

[lmiltchev]

What do you mean? Same problem in terms of not being able to run the "new" plugin and getting "Warning - one or more of your Perl Modules are out of date and this may cause plugin problems." errors or the "new" plugin is not working any better than the "old" one?

Frédéric,

I have had success updating the perl modules to be able to run a newer version of check_wmi_plus.pl on CentSO 6.6 ( and I believe we can upgrade the perl modules on your system). But the version of perl is more problematic, we are not going to be able to update perl. Version upgrades for perl are difficult to do, and are best handled by the system update process.

We will help you try to upgrade the modules, and then we can see if we can get 1.59 version check_wmi_plus.pl to run.

It still isn't know if the newer version of check_wmic_plus.pl is going to solve your problem with the CPU check.

==>brian.

[Frédéric GRANAT]

Hi,
Perl Version 5.008008 BAD 5.01

=> check_wmi_plus_latest.pl doesn't work caused by Perl is not up to date. You say that we're not going to update Perl.
Could you please explain how check_wmi_plus_latest.pl is going to work ?

It still isn't know if the newer version of check_wmic_plus.pl is going to solve your problem with the CPU check.
=> Do you think it's worth spending time on pluggin upgrade (1 post = 1 day) ? What other solution do you propose ?

Rgds,

Frederic
