I found this really annoying, so I thought I go about installing Nagios XI another way.

I converted your vmware image and used that.

Trying to install so I can monitor Vmware guests and so on.

Following this: http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... ios_XI.pdf
Came to this: yum install -yq perl-Class-Accessor perl-Config-Tiny perl-Math-Calc-Units perl-Params-Validate
Get this:

Code: Select all

[root@localhost vmware-vsphere-cli-distrib]# yum install -yq perl-Class-Accessor                                 perl-Config-Tiny perl-Math-Calc-Units perl-Params-Validate

Complete!

BUT, when I run this: rpm -Uvh perl-Nagios-Plugin-*.rpm

Code: Select all

error: Failed dependencies:
        perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.8.8) is needed by perl-Nagios-Plugin-0.33-2.noarch

WHY on earth do I get this error message? Is this supposed to be easy to install, and what on earth am I doing wrong?

Really really annoying to say the least. I want to monitor my vmware guests and servers!!

Please help me. Need some serious help!

Markers,

I updated the pdf yesterday and it does not contain the instructions to install the RPM. Can you please clear you cache and head to:

http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... ios_XI.pdf

And follow those instructions. They are confirmed working for other people.

Posted: **Fri Sep 23, 2011 5:43 am**

...

Then I get this:

Do you accept? (yes/no) yes

Thank you.

Please wait while configuring CPAN ...

Please wait while configuring perl modules using CPAN ...

CPAN not able to install following Perl modules on the system. These must be

XML::LibXML 1.63 or newer

Any ideas?

markers,

That dependency should've been covered by the yum install perl-XML-LibXML, are you sure you typed it in properly?

Posted: **Fri Sep 30, 2011 8:00 am**

Copy and paste usually does it for me.

I'll try again in 2 minutes.

Please wait while copying vSphere CLI files...

The installation of vSphere CLI 4.0.0 build-161974 for Linux completed
successfully. You can decide to remove this software from your system at any
time by invoking the following command:
"/usr/bin/vmware-uninstall-vSphere-CLI.pl".

This installer has successfully installed both vSphere CLI and the vSphere SDK
for Perl.

Enjoy,

Then I deleted the vmware wizard, and installed it again.

Then I get this message, when I try the wizard...
Error: It appears as though you have not installed the VMware SDK or ESX plugins on your Nagios XI server. You must have these components properly installed on your system before using this wizard.

Can anyone direct me on how to uninstall correctly the vmware sdk, delete directories and do this once and for all?

This is making me mental...

Posted: **Fri Sep 30, 2011 8:03 am**

Can't remember. I have installed it so many times I can hardly remember my own name anymore.

Will try again over the weekend. Have got some other work to do as well...

Have a nice weekend, everyone!

I'll toast to you all!

Posted: **Fri Sep 30, 2011 8:04 am**

Can it be anything to do with the version numbers do do? I have tried 5.0 and 4.0 without any luck.

Posted: **Fri Sep 30, 2011 12:34 pm**

I haven't read anything about the different SDK causing issues. Atter you removed the wizard did you update the chown settings on the getguest.pl?

A good way to troubleshoot this issue is to install the SDK, and then try manually running the plugin from the command line

/usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/configwizards/vmware/scripts/getguests.pl -H <your ESX> -u <user to login as> -p <password for said user>

If that doesn't roll, then the SDK is messed up. Once that rolls, then set the permissions properly (by allowing apache to execute it) and try it in Nagios XI.

Good morning!

Then I get this error message:

Thats very odd, what does it say when you run a

yum info perl-XML-LibXML

Post the output.
