Nagios Support Forum

I am looking to setup monitoring on my Netapp appliances. I would like to try Check_netapp3.pl located @ https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... p3/details

I have installed the plugin via the web gui and I see the plugin via a SSH connection to the nagios host. I am trying to test the commands but I have no idea how to go about this. Attached is a screen shot of my test. Please help walk me through this.

Thanks.

To test the command, the first thing you'll need to do is enter the directory of the plugins.
Next, run the appropriate plugin with the '-h' flag - this will typically display a help menu. Please post the output of that help menu here.
If the above command doesn't run properly, you may need to give the file 'execute permissions.'
Once you have returned us the help menu, we'll move forward. Thanks!

I ran each line in the order your posted them and I received the error below. The plugin is in libexec, I ran an ls Check_Netapp3.pl is listed.

[@ ~]# cd /usr/local/nagios/libexec
[@libexec]# ./check_netapp3.pl -h
-bash: ./check_netapp3.pl: /usr/local/bin/perl: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
[@libexec]# chmod +x check_netapp3.pl
[@libexec]# ./check_netapp3.pl -h
-bash: ./check_netapp3.pl: /usr/local/bin/perl: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

Edit the check_netapp3.pl file and at the top change:
To:
Then it should work.

Let's give the following a shot.
The script is likely trying to call perl incorrectly, we can call it manually to reprimand that situation. Let me know if the above works for you.

EDIT: ssax's fix should work as well.

@ ssax - that change did not help, thanks though

@Jolson - "perl check_netapp3.pl -h" successfully brought up the help file. What is the issue?

What is the output of this command:

Below are the results of "Which Perl"

/usr/bin/perl

Thanks!

After running that I can successfully execute ./check_netapp3.pl -h
