No ideas on what this is?


Should I give up, and use my hard earned money elsewhere?

I guess noone has any idea?

That's a shame, really.

Any suggestions on what to do next?

Nope. I have officially given up following this And getting it to work.

I have tried converting the vmware image, booting up from vmware, but still get the "slightly" annoying 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. "

I convert, boot up from vmware.

The process is simple (it's simple yes, it's only the problem that it doesn't work)
1. export http_proxy and export ftp_proxy
2. install wizard in web gui
3. chown nagios.nagcmd /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/configwizards/vmware/scripts/getguests.pl
4. chmod 775 /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/configwizards/vmware/scripts/getguests.pl
5. tar xzf VMware-vSphere-SDK-for-Perl-4.0.0-161974.x86_64.tar.gz
I use the exact same version that exists in the manual.
6. cd vmware-vsphere-cli-distrib/ and ./vmware-install.pl
7. You must read and accept the vSphere CLI End User License Agreement to
continue. Press enter to display it. I press Yes, and get a polite thank you
8: The file /usr/lib/perl5/Compress/Zlib.pm that this program was about to install
already exists. Overwrite? [yes]

The file /usr/lib/perl5/auto/Compress/Zlib/autosplit.ix that this program was
about to install already exists. Overwrite? [yes]
9. In which directory do you want to install the executable files?
[/usr/bin]
10. I get this

Code: Select all

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,

--the VMware team

11. Since I already have installed the vmware monitoring wizard, I try to add vmware:
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.

I hope someone have something smart to do before I take my virtual Nagios XI server and toss it out of the window so to speak.
Just kidding, I will only remove and delete.

Have a nice weekend everyone! suggestions would be most welcome, because I am totally stuck as it is.

Did you run the following commands, prior to installing the SDK?

Code: Select all
