[root@nagiosxi nagiosxi]# su -l nagios -c '/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_wmi_plus.pl -H server -u user -p pwd -m checkcpu -w 80 -c 90'
UNKNOWN - Permission denied when trying to store the state data. Sometimes this happens if you have been testing the plugin from the command line as a different user to the Nagio process user. You will need to change the permissions on the file or remove it. The actual error text is: can't create /tmp/cwpss_checkcpu_wsapp29web___.state: Permission denied at /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_wmi_plus.pl line 1710

But don't forget my problem is only visible in Nagiosxi GUI (running check_wmi_plus.pl works fine)

You can run the check successfully from the CLI but only as "root". You should be able to run it as nagios...
Let's try the following:

Remove ALL of the files in the "/tmp" directory.
Don't run the check from the CLI as root!

Go the web UI, and schedule a forced immediate check a few times.

Let us know if this fixed your problem.

cd /tmp
rm -rf *
then force immediate check...

That removes the alert for a time (even without rm -rf * on tmp)
But the alert re-appear after a few time (that what happens just now)

Who "owns" the temp files that were created in the /tmp" directory? They should be owned by nagios, i.e. You had some owned by apache and by root before... Can you run the following command and show us the output?

[root@nagiosxi tmp]# ls -al

Those permissions look good. Can you run the check from the cli now that all the state files are owned by nagios?

[root@nagiosxi tmp]# su -l nagios -c '/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_wmi_plus.pl -H 172.16.1.13 -u svc_riverbed -p dsisvc -m checkcpu -w 80 -c 90'
CRITICAL (Sample Period 29 sec) - [Triggered by _AvgCPU>90] - Average CPU Utilisation 99.97%|'Avg CPU Utilisation'=99.97%;80;90;

That's wrong, according to the taskmanager of the server, the CPU consumption is only 2%

What version of the plugin are you using?
The latest stable version is 1.5.9

Hi,
[root@nagiosxi ~]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_wmi_plus.pl --version
Version: 1.49

How do you explain that the new version of Nagios (2014 R2) uses an old version of the plugin ?

Please tell me how to upgrade check_wmi_plus

How do you explain that the new version of Nagios (2014 R2) uses an old version of the plugin ?

The wmiplus plugin is not developed/maintained by us (Nagios). We haven't updated to the latest version of the plugin as it hasn't been thoroughly tested by us. You are welcome to give it a try however, I would advise against overwriting the old plugin with the new one. Try it first and see if it is going to work fine for you and if it is going to resolve your issue.

Download the plugin from here:
http://edcint.co.nz/checkwmiplus/sites/ ... .59.tar.gz

Untar it, and change the name to something else, i.e. "check_wmi_plus_latest.pl". Install the plugin from the GUI:

Admin->Manage Plugins->Browse->check_wmi_plus_latest.pl->Upload Plugin

Test it from the CLI first. If it works fine (and you decide to use it), you could overwrite the "old" one but keep in mind that it could be replaced with the older version on an upgrade.

Note: You may need to install some perl packages (resolve dependencies), modify paths (for example, the path to the nagios plugins), etc. Let us know if you get stuck on something.

[root@nagiosxi libexec]# ./check_wmi_plus_latest.pl -H 172.16.1.13 -u svc_riverbed -p dsisvc -m checkcpu -w 80 -c 90
Warning - one or more of your Perl Modules are out of date and this may cause plugin problems. If you are having any problems with Check WMI Plus you must upgrade your Perl Modules before contacting support (since they'll just tell you to upgrade!). You can override this warning at your peril by using the --IgnoreMyOutDatedPerlModuleVersions command line option or the "$ignore_my_outdated_perl_module_versions" setting in the conf file (/opt/nagios/bin/plugins/check_wmi_plus.conf).

I hope that it won't cause more diseases than it corrects.
