Nagios XI Version: 2014r2.7 [demo]
Host: CentOS Linux release 7.1.1503
Host architecture: 64bit
Install: manual

Problem Description
/usr/local/bin/wmic fails to run, preventing any WMI service checks

[root@localhost ~]# /usr/local/bin/wmic
/usr/local/bin/wmic: error while loading shared libraries: libsasl2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

cyrus-sasl-lib is installed (cyrus-sasl-lib-2.1.26-17.el7.x86_64), but does not contain libsasl2.so.2:
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qil cyrus-sasl-lib | egrep libsasl2.so
/usr/lib64/libsasl2.so.3
/usr/lib64/libsasl2.so.3.0.0

wmic isn't in the Nagios XI tarball, so I assume it's downloaded pre-compiled. The libsasl version must have changed between CentOS 5/6 and CentOS 7.

I haven't found the rhyme or reason to when it works and when it doesn't. I have run into that problem, however on my current Cent7 build it isn't occurring.

Either way you can simply ln -s to fix the issue, wmic doesn't care.

Chris,

jdalrymple beat me to providing a fix, but here is some addition information I dug up:

From https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1143874:

The binary needs to be recompiled for RHEL7, or you will need to install a copy of libsasl2.so.2. libsasl2.so.2 comes from RHEL 6 and does not exist in RHEL 7.

After linking libsasl2.so.2 to libsasl3.so.3 wmic now runs.

Thanks,
Chris

Glad to hear that, marking this as resolved and locking the topic, feel free to create another if you have any more issues.
