Problem with "Monitor a guest VM on the VMWare host"

[thomas.woiti]

Hi,

I have been testing the vmware wizard and can monitor the ESX/Vsphere Hosts, but i can't monitore a guest vm.
when I go to "Monitor a guest VM on the VMWare host" and then "
VMware Guest Selection " nothing appears.



What can i do?

Thank's
BR Thomas

PS: i also tried this

Code: Select all

chown apache.apache /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/configwizards/vmware/scripts/getguests.pl
chmod 755 /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/configwizards/vmware/scripts/getguests.pl

and when i try this:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/configwizards/vmware/scripts
./getguests.pl -H <ip address> -u <username> -p <password>

i get a list of my VM's

What version of XI are you using, as well as what version of that wizard? You can find the wizard information at Admin > Manage Monitoring Wizards. Also, what is the output of running the following command during running of the wizard, and navigation to the guests section:

Code: Select all

tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log

[thomas.woiti]

the version of the wizard is: 1.6.2

and here is the output of the command:

Code: Select all

[root@localhost ~]# tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log

Did you get any errors, while installing SDK? Did you follow all of the steps, outlined in this document?

Run the following commands and show us the output in code wraps:

Code: Select all

uname -a
cat /etc/*release
yum list installed | grep perl

[lmiltchev]

You are missing some of the required packages, for example "perl-XML-SAX" and "perl-XML-LibXML"...

I would recommend repeating all of the steps, outlined in our document here:

http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... ios-XI.pdf

which would be basically:

1. Installing the prereqs

Code: Select all

yum erase perl-XML-SAX-Base -y
yum install perl-XML-SAX --exclude=perl-XML-SAX-Base -y
yum install perl-Nagios-Plugin libuuid* perl-XML-LibXML

2. Setting the environment variables

Code: Select all

export http_proxy=
export ftp_proxy=

3. Installing SDK

Watch the output for errors as you do this. Don't miss any steps. Let us know if this solved your problem.
