VMWare plugin

Post by jwu »

I was trying to install the VMWare SDK plugin using the following instructions
http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... ios_XI.pdf
I have 2012 R2.2 installed.
after installing, I realized that I already have the VMWare configuration wizard,
and after installation, it stopped working.
Is there a way to reverse the configurations and delete the plugin?

There is no good way to roll back, though, installing the newest version of the sdk *should* not break your vnmware wizard.
1. Can you post the install log for the vmware sdk installation (attach a file or post in code wraps)? There is a good chance there might have been a package issue.
2. What errors do you receive for your vmware checks now.

The vmware document mentions that you must set those env vars:

Code: Select all

export http_proxy=
export ftp_proxy=
Then try to reinstall the sdk.
