More box293_check_vmware fun

[highness]

We are ALMOST there...

ssh to the vMA as vi-admin
Type these four commands:

Code: Select all

time ~/box293_check_vmware.pl --server 10.YYY.YYY.YYY --timeout 600 --check List_Datastores

real 1m49.997s
user 0m47.391s
sys 0m1.324s

Code: Select all

time ~/box293_check_vmware.pl --server 10.YYY.YYY.YYY --timeout 600 --check List_Guests

real 0m19.756s
user 0m6.844s
sys 0m0.108s

Code: Select all

time ~/box293_check_vmware.pl --server 10.YYY.YYY.YYY --timeout 600 --check List_Hosts

real 0m9.597s
user 0m5.572s
sys 0m0.088s

Code: Select all

time ~/box293_check_vmware.pl --server 10.YYY.YYY.YYY --timeout 600 --check List_vCenter_Objects

Establish an ssh session to your Nagios XI Host
Type this command:

Code: Select all

sed -i 's/-t 90/-t 300/g'  /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/configwizards/vmwarevirtualizationwizard/vmwarevirtualizationwizard_misc.php

I did that, and I also made this change:

Code: Select all

sed -i 's/-timeout 90/-timeout 300/g'  /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/configwizards/vmwarevirtualizationwizard/vmwarevirtualizationwizard_misc.php

Did that, re-ran the config wizard and they all worked except the List_Guests - It returns nothing.

Something about the time it takes to run List_Guests doesn't seem right (it should be taking longer in your environment). Can you please do the following:

ssh to the vMA as vi-admin
Run this command:

Code: Select all

~/box293_check_vmware.pl --server 10.YYY.YYY.YYY --timeout 600 --check List_Guests --debug > ~/List_Guests_Output.txt 2>&1

And PM me the file
/home/vi-admin/List_Guests_Output.txt

[highness]

File sent via PM.

highness,

When you get a chance to go through Box's suggestions, get back to us and let us know if this solved your issue.

Once I hear back from Troy again, I'll certainly do that!

I just sent him the file he asked for this morning.

[tmcdonald]

Troy actually is based out of Australia, so he might not have a chance to look at it any time soon. Do you want to PM the same thing to myself? I will make sure it gets saved on the network so other techs can look it over. Troy is the authority on it, but we might be able to catch something.

Just did.

[tmcdonald]

I got it (decoded and prettified the output, saved on network drive) and I can't really see any problems with it. Granted I didn't write the plugin, but nothing about the JSON or the debug info seems to indicate anything amiss.

I'm going to defer to Troy on this one, but I will let you know if I think of anything.

[Box293]

OK so the output from the plugin looks good, I was able to use in on test box here and I can see all the guests being displayed in the wizard.

Also, it just dawned on me that there are two separate timeout settings in my commands in the wizard.

Run this command on your Nagios XI box (in an SSH session):

Code: Select all

sed -i 's/--timeout 90/--timeout 300/g'  /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/configwizards/vmwarevirtualizationwizard/vmwarevirtualizationwizard_misc.php

So now I'll get you to run this command on your Nagios XI server :

Code: Select all

tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log

This will show any errors that happen.

Now go into the wizard and click the Retrieve Guests button.

Does the wizard work, do any errors appear in the SSH session if the wizard does not display any results?

Yeah, I caught that when I made the changes a couple of messages ago so that part is already done.

Now go into the wizard and click the Retrieve Guests button.

The /var/www/httpd/error_log does return this:

[Fri Jan 23 15:40:54 2015] [error] [client 10.111.222.333] PHP Fatal error:  Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 111258995 bytes) in /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/configwizards/vmwarevirtualizationwizard/vmwarevirtualizationwizard_misc.php on line 610, referer: http://nagios.vsp.com/nagiosxi/config/monitoringwizard.php?update=1&nextstep=2&nsp=05e9e51c3cb07c72a2e68eda439c5c8f&wizard=vmwarevirtualizationwizard

I checked the /etc/php.ini file and the memory_limit was set to 128M

I set the memory_limit to 256M and restarted Apache and re-ran the wizard again and saw this error:

I changed memory_limit to 512M, restarted Apache, re-ran the wizard, saw no errors in the /var/httpd/error_log, but I did get this popup from Firefox:

Code: Select all

A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, open the script in the debugger, or let the script continue.

Script: http://nagios.vsp.com/nagiosxi/includes/js/jquery/jquery-1.8.2.min.js?2014R2.3:2

I told Firefox to let the script continue, and it did finish a couple of minutes later.

So, it looks like it works, but I'm concerned about the javascript error and wondering if we need to change that too?
