Hello, @vinish098.

This plugin tests the availability of a given DHCP server using unicast delivery.

If it's not working for you:

Code: Select all

This plugin will need to run with root permissions in order to access priviledged ports 67 & 68. Since Nagios by default runs its plugins under unpriviledged user 'nagios', you will need to setuid root like: 

 chown root:root check_dhcp.pl 
  chmod 4755 check_dhcp.pl 

Also, please install this module:

Code: Select all

yum install perl-IO-Interface

Please check out the list of other DHCP plugins we have on the exchange:
