Monitor VMware host and guest

[hyacinth]

I have running a nagios XI Demo to test with 60 free days. I come accross a weird problem. I have installed "VMware-vSphere-Perl-SDK-6.0.0-2503617.x86_64.tar.gz" on XI server and got "Enjoy, --the VMware team" message. However, when I click VMware wizard on GUI, an error exists :"Error: It appears as though you have not installed the VMware SDK or ESX plugins on your Nagios XI server. You must have these components properly installed on your system before using this wizard."

My VMware vsphere is 6.0, and I tried to reinstall 5.5 SDK, but got the same result.
I'm so confused, can you give any advice to solve the problem ?Thanks.

Hello, @hyacinth.

Did you follow this guide for your installation?

https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... gJ8dPD_BwE

If you did then you may run the following command to see if the plugin errors out because of the missing modules:

Code: Select all

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

Please share the output with us.

@ npolovenko,
I have run the command according to your advice, please help to check the output as attached.
And I got the same result, WEB GUI said not installed vmware SDK.

@ npolovenko,
More information, when I check a command as the document "Monitoring VMware With Nagios XI" recommend:
/usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/configwizards/vmware/scripts/getguests.pl
got the result as attached: server version unavailable.
I don't know whether it it a problem and how to solve it.

Try this command and then run the --version on the plugin. If you see the version number, you can then run the wizard.

Code: Select all

yum install perl-Nagios-Plugin -y

Code: Select all

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

Otherwise, let us know if you receive the same error.

Thanks,

Did you run this command?

Code: Select all

yum install perl-Nagios-Plugin -y

Is there any Plugin.pm anywhere?

Code: Select all

find / -name Plugin.pm

Show us all outputs, thank you!

@kyang,
After running the command:yum install perl-Nagios-Plugin -y
it took a few minutes to get the last result, and I could run the VMWare wizard on web GUI.
Thanks for your great help. And can you explain why ? is there no perl-nagios-plugin before ?
