did you follow our documentation on monitoring vmware? In most cases this is going to be due to a dependency not being met, or the sdk not being installed properly.

We have did this now:

Code: Select all

yum erase perl-XML-SAX-Base -y
yum install perl-XML-SAX --exclude=perl-XML-SAX-Base -y
yum install perl-Nagios-Plugin libuuid* perl-XML-LibXML
Now we're getting this error: (Return code of 127 is out of bounds - plugin may be missing)

edit: It's vSphere 4.1 that we're using.

Sorry for the bump. Found the solution in this topic: http://support.nagios.com/forum/viewtop ... f=6&t=9208

Code: Select all

yum install perl-Class-MethodMaker
was not installed :)
