Nagios Support Forum

Just wanted to get some guidance here. We are going to using a mod gearman worker setup and we will be using the Cisco UCSM Plugin (as well as the VMware one). Other than copying the plugins to the workers, would I need to install the SDKs and the whole plugin package on the workers?

The workers will be taking checks from the mod_gearman job server and running them locally. The plugins your gearman workers are running will be dependant on SDKs, libraries, etc. Anything that the plugins are dependent on must be installed on the workers.

Thanks. The UCSM plugin requires Nagios to be installed. When running the installer, it prompts for the nagios folders and will fail if the folders are present. Any advice for this situation?

I did some reading and there seems to be two parts to this. I suspect the auto discovery part will not work on the mod gearman workers however the installer.py does have a --plugin option that only installs the monitoring plugin, have you given this a try?

Unfortunately it stills gives the same prompt for the Nagios folder. So what I end up doing is just installed the prerequisite SDK and then manually copied the plugins over from the XI instance. I then tested a single check with the worker node. Checks are running on the worker node for the Cisco UCS checks!

Below is what shows up if you run the installer

Awesome news! Thanks for sharing the solution - anything else you'd like to add before we lock this up?

That's it. Lock it up, thanks.
