We should have asked this before, but did you follow the instructions at https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios-XI.pdf ?

Please run yum list installed | grep perl and provide the output in a code block.

Also I followed the instruction in the "https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... 1478198248" and now every time I try to run "./check_esx3-0.5.pl", it gives me the output which tells me that "VMware Infrastructure (VI) Perl Toolkit' is not installed.

Looks like either it's not picking up the 6.0 SDK or it was never installed. You should run through https://www.vmware.com/support/develope ... nstall.pdf and when it gets to the download portion, make sure you get 5.1.

Once you have the 5.1 SDK installed, please report any issues.

I have already installed VMware-vSphere-Perl-SDK-5.1.0-780721.x86_64.tar.gz and that's when I get those error messages.

Usually the VMWare SDK is installed in this folder. Can you check to see if the files are there?
Can you run the following command and post the /tmp/ls.txt file?

Also, what's the output of rpm -qa | grep uuid?

Our instructions have you install libuuid* but I noticed installing the SDK complained about that. Did you get any error when installing the SDK?

I got the following

CPAN not able to install following Perl modules on the system. These must be
installed manually for use by vSphere CLI:

UUID 0.03 or newer

which is why I suspect we have you install it via yum, but I just want to double check.

I was not able to find the vmware-vcli/ in /usr/lib/vmware-vcli/. I followed the instruction that was outlined in the below document.
https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... 1478198248

I do not recall facing any error message during installation.

Below is the output as requested.
# rpm -qa | grep uuid
libuuid-2.17.2-12.24.el6_8.1.x86_64
uuidd-2.17.2-12.24.el6_8.1.x86_64
uuid-1.6.1-10.el6.x86_64
libuuid-devel-2.17.2-12.24.el6_8.1.x86_64

I spoke with one of the VMWare plugin maintainers and he suggested using https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... pi/details instead. As you can see, it is the replacement for check_esx3. The newer version with the new name fixes a lot of bugs.

Please try that and report any errors you receive.

I am not able to get the installation document it says Page cannot be found.
