Nagios XI and Vmware - Error why?

[markers]

Hi there!

Installed Nagios XI yesterday, and am still a little bit confused. Since it all went so smooth.

And usually, it doesn't happen that way. Thanks for that!

This morning, I thought I might try the Nagios XI – Monitoring VMware

Downloaded this http://communities.vmware.com/community ... e_sdk_perl and ftp'd onto my nagios xi
cd /tmp
tar xzf VMware-vSphere-SDK-for-Perl-5.0.0-422456.x86_64.tar.gz this differed from the pdf tutorial since it was a newer version.
cd vmware-vsphere-cli-distrib/
./vmware-install.pl

When I did that, I got this:


http_proxy not set. please set environment variable 'http_proxy' e.g. export
http_proxy=http://myproxy.mydomain.com:0000 .

ftp_proxy not set. please set environment variable 'ftp_proxy' e.g. export
ftp_proxy=http://myproxy.mydomain.com:0000 .

How do I correct this? I am not very good at Linux. I love it, but me not very good..
wget http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... noarch.rpm
yum install -yq perl-Class-Accessor perl-Config-Tiny perl-Math-Calc-Units perl-Params-Validate
rpm -Uvh perl-Nagios-Plugin-*.rpm

that turned out ok. already installed and latest version.

When I do this I get file not found:

chown apache.apache /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/configwizards/vmware/scripts/getguests.pl

When I check /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/configwizards/vmware/scripts/getguests.pl it doesnt exist.

Can someone please guide me in the right direction?

thanks in advance!

Did you install the wizard? The wizard is what installs the getguest.pl and if you didn't install the wizard trhought web interface that file won't exist.

Thanks for the help!

I feel slightly retarded right now.

Don't worry about it! When inside the command line its easy to not see the forest because the trees are in the way!
