check_wmi_plus.pl Cannot determine local time zone

[CBoekhuis]

Hi,

A was requested to check the fileage of a file on a windows server.
Bij using the check_wmi.plus.pl (1.6) i get the message "Cannot determine local time zone" .
Here is the check as we run it:

Code: Select all

nagiosxi:root:/usr/local/nagios/libexec> ./check_wmi_plus.pl -H 192.168.1.1 -A /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_wmi_plus.d/wmi_authentication_file -m checkfileage -a "d:/somedir/histdb.mdb" -d

            }
          ]
        ];

Environment:

On the windows server time zone is set to UTC +1,00 Amsterdam, nagios server on CEST , and al servers are in sync.

Any idea?

It looks like you found a known bug in the check_wmi_plus.pl script which was fixed in version 1.62.
Take a look at the changelog and upgrade to 1.62 if it is available.

Hi,
i saw that too. But its in development. Hope this will be fixed soon.
When looking at the changelog dates it will take a while.

You could try and upgrade the Perl DateTime module and see if that helps or not.

Code: Select all

cpan -i DateTime

As @tgriep mentioned, there might be some problems with your perl environment. Specifically the DateTime module.

I went ahead and patched this plugin's checkfileage command. Seems to be functional against my testing Windows Server 2012 machine using any sort of timezone. I just used the UTC offset rather than defining actual timezones within DateTime. I make no claims that this will solve your issue, but you're welcome to give it a try (attached below).

Hi,

i tested successfully mcarpa's check_wmi_plus.pl.
For me this works fine.

Thanx,

I'm glad this was able to solve your problem! Is it ok if we lock this thread and mark the issue as resolved?

[CBoekhuis]

Sure.
For me it is solved. We will get the fix also with the 1.62 version of check_wmi_plus.

Kind regards,

Christian
