VMWare Plugin Error

[rajasegar]

The perl plugin was working fine under mod gearman.
It was the redirected to the external gearman worker. Was getting errors so decided to revert back to local gearman worker.
However this error does not go away anymore.

From command line it works fine. Just when using gearman it screws up.

Please assist as all our vmware monitoring is down now.


From Command Line

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_esx3.pl -H "10.17.12.20" -u "root" -p 'test!' -l "CPU" ""-s usage"" -w "70%" -c "85%"  ""  ""

Please advice how to fix this problem.

The simple solution is probably to not use the embedded perl for that plugin:

https://labs.consol.de/nagios/mod-gearm ... edded_perl

Modify the plugin per the note there to disable EPN.

How did you install "check_esx3.pl" plugin? What is the version of the plugin that you are currently using?

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_esx3.pl -V

Just copied it to the libexec directory. It was working fine running under Gearman for almost 1 year.
Did not do any changes to gearman last few day or Perl.

Code: Select all

Original Version
[nagios@nagiosprodxi1 libexec]$ ./check_esx3.pl.org -V
Nagios::Plugin is deprecated, use Monitoring::Plugin instead. at /usr/local/share/perl5/Nagios/Plugin/Functions.pm line 14.
check_esx3.pl.org 0.2.0

Original version with all Nagios::Plugin changed to Monitoring::Plugin
[nagios@nagiosprodxi1 libexec]$ ./check_esx3.pl -V
check_esx3.pl 0.2.0

Latest
[nagios@nagiosprodxi1 libexec]$ ./check_esx3-0.5.pl -V
check_esx3-0.5.pl 0.5.0

As of them give errors when executed through gearman although it works fine from the command line.

Got around the problem by setting # nagios: -epn in the script header.
If anybody got a permanent solution which fixes all the compilation issues, please update.

Thanks.

Since you asked I'll (try) to leave it open but also mark it solved.

Thanks rajasegar
