Error message when trying to install VMWare SDK

[kumardeuja]

I recently installed Nagios and trying to configure VMWare plugins, but when trying to follow steps from the PDF located at (https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... 1544533180), I am receiving the following error below:

Creating a new vSphere CLI installer database using the tar4 format.

Installing vSphere CLI 6.7.0 build-8156551 for Linux.

Network is unavailable, please configure the network first otherwise please
install the following modules manually for use by vSphere CLI:

Time::Piece 1.31 or newer
Archive::Zip 1.28 or newer
Path::Class 0.33 or newer
Try::Tiny 0.28 or newer
UUID 0.27 or newer
Text::Template 1.47 or newer
Net::INET6Glue 0.603 or newer

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Kumar

Is your Nagios XI server connected to the Internet? Are you using a proxy?

What is the output of the following command?

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_esx3.pl --help | head

Here is the output of the command:

Can't locate Nagios/Plugin/Functions.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib64/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 .) at /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_esx3.pl line 40.

Run the following commands and show the output:

Code: Select all

grep 'Nagios::' /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_esx3.pl
cpan -a | grep -i nagios

Nagios server has direct connection to the internet. The output from the command are below:

Open the /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_esx3.pl plugin in a text editor, and change all occurrences of "Nagios::Plugin" to "Nagios::Monitoring::Plugin". Save, exit, and try viewing the help menu again:

Code: Select all

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

Did it work this time?

[kumardeuja]

I am now able to run the --help command. What is my next step?

Thanks!

You can run the VMware wizard against the servers that you would like to monitor. The wizard will create all of the default services for you. Let us know if you run into some issues. Thank you!
