Check Openmanage

[Gavin]

Hi all,

I'm trying to run the 'check_openmanage.exe' check on a Windows machine (just from the command line). It works fine, but when I try and run the SNMP checks, I get:

Code: Select all

ERROR: You need perl module Net::SNMP to run check_openmanage in SNMP mode

The error is obvious enough, but how do I install Net::SNMP on Windows? I've tried installing ActivePerl with no luck.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Gavin

Gavin,

I believe you only need perl and it's modules installed on the Nagios server.

take a look at the following:

specifically

For SNMP, you'll also need the perl module Net::SNMP on the Nagios server (or the server running the queries). This module is not part of perl itself, but is available in all modern Linux distributions. Installing Net::SNMP is quite easy:

This should do the trick on your Nagios machine

Code: Select all

yum --nogpgcheck install http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
yum install perl-Net-SNMP

Thanks,

Hi Yancy,

The queries aren't running from Nagios, they're running from a Windows machine.

From what you quoted, Net::SNMP will need to be installed on the server running the queries, I've just no idea how.

Thanks,

Gavin

Gavin,

I'm confused how your running the scripts and capturing the output in Nagios from a windows machine. Are you using some type of NSClient++ external script?

Thanks,

I will be, if I can get it to run from the command line first!

See here:

I've just downloaded the .exe file. I get the error as soon as I specify a host name.

Thanks,

Gavin

I have not tried it, but it looks like net snmp is compiled for windows here http://sourceforge.net/projects/net-snm ... 0binaries/

Thanks. Unfortunately, that didn't make any difference.

I think I'll have to stick to running the uncompiled script through ActivePerl. Thanks for your help.

Thanks,

Gavin
