[rdandekar]

Hi Team,

We have recently installed Nagiosxi server and purchased licence for the same. We have to monitor HP Proliant ILO 4 server's on Nagiosxi, but we didnt find any proper document on google or site on nagiosxi. Could you please provide some procedure or steps for the installation.

Hi Rahul,

Thank you for purchasing Nagios XI. You'll find a number of plugins for monitoring HP Prolient Servers on the Nagios Exchange.

For example, take a look at this plugin:

check_ilo2_health

Once you find a suitable plugin, install it in Nagios Xi and then test it from the command line. Below is our guide with detailed steps for installing new plugins and configuring host and service checks.

Hi Team

Thanks for the quick reply. Now as per your suggestion we have uploaded "'check_ilo2_health" on Nagiosxi server. But When we test plugin From The command Line we are getting below error,

Can't locate Nagios/Plugin.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 ./check_ilo2_health.pl line 170.

That plugin requires sone perl modules to be installed to function, run this commands as root to install them.

Code: Select all

cpan -i Nagios::Plugin
cpan -i IO::Socket::SSL
cpan -i XML::Simple

After they are installed, test the plugin and see if it functions for you.

Hi Rahul,
Did you install the required perl modules as directed in the documentation?

Install the PERL modules Nagios::Plugin, IO::Socket::SSL and
XML::Simple. Copy the plugin to your nagios plugin directory and make sure that the nagios user can execute it.

Hi @rdandekar

please check the validity of the index file by comparing it to more than one cpan mirror

It looks like you have corrupt data in the cpan directory. You may need to remove cpan and re-install it ( see: this ).
