Re: Check_VMWARE_API Plugin not working

Post by kwhogster »

Is this the same version of ESXi/VSphere server as the rest of them (that are working)? Yes all but one I have 9 ESXI hosts 8 6.5 1 6.0
This is an ESXI 6.5 Host having the issue all other hosts work great.

Are the permissions of the user the same? Yes same userid Root and same password I logon to each host or thru vCenter.

Do any other checks work? Yes on the same host I do CPU hardware Check IO check Memory Check network check runtime check service check they all are reporting fine

Do you see the datastores when you log in the server with the same credentials? Yes


Try running:

Will post later but last night when I tried I received no response from any command line on this host had to control break each try

Whenever you are ready.

Can you also run the commands below, and post the output?

Code: Select all

dpkg -l | grep libwww-perl
cpan -a | grep libwww-perl

It seems like the cpu check is working but the mem, runtime, and vmfs are all timing out... Can you verify that you are using the same credentials?

Can you also upload the plugin that you are using on the forum? Since you modified it a few times, we would like to view it, and compare it to the one that we are using in-house. Thanks!

I see this here:

https://communities.vmware.com/thread/501356

What version are you running?

Code: Select all

[root@xid xicore]# perl -MLWP -e 'print "$LWP::VERSION\n"';
6.05
What version of the SDK do you have installed now?

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/vmware-cmd --version
Thank you!

Send the output of this command:

Code: Select all

apt list --installed | grep -i perl
Then try running this command:

Code: Select all

cpan -i GAAS/libwww-perl-6.05.tar.gz
Then once it's done installing, test the command again and see if it works. If it doesn't work, try running this command:

Code: Select all

cpan -i GAAS/libwww-perl-5.837.tar.gz
Then test again, if it still doesn't work, let us know.
