Nagios Support Forum

Hi.

Nagios XI Version : 5.2.3
searnantmon01. 2.6.32-573.el6.x86_64 x86_64
CentOS release 6.7 (Final)
Gnome is not installed

Have download (https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... re/details) this checker for our sun fire x4170 m3 servers running as esxi hosts. Want to get hardware monitoting like check state of cpu, fans, temperature and voltage sensors like it says on the site.

Add the command as:
$USER1$/check_sun_hardware $ARG1$
COMMAND: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_sun_hardware

Error mess:
No output on stdout) stderr: execvp(/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_sun_hardware, ...) failed. errno is 2: No such file or directory

Run the command from ssh putty
output:
[root@searnantmon01 ~]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_sun_hardware
-bash: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_sun_hardware: /usr/local/bin/perl: bad in terpreter: No such file or directory

What is the output of perl -v?

For the other issue, I believe it's permission related. What are the permissions on /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_sun_hardware? ls -l /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_sun_hardware

perl -v

ls -l

Can you edit that plugin and change this line from to Save it and see if that resolves the issue.

Now i get unknown status on the checker:
OUTPUT: PICL class must be defined
Usage:
check_sun_hardware [-d | --debug] [-e | --errors_only] -c <picld class>
check_sun_hardware [-h | --help]
check_sun_hardware [-V | --version]

run the follow:
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_sun_hardware --help
check_sun_hardware Revision: 0.1

Check status of SUN hardware via PICLD interface.
Usage:
check_sun_hardware [-d | --debug] [-e | --errors_only] -c <picld class>
check_sun_hardware [-h | --help]
check_sun_hardware [-V | --version]

Now supported next PICLD classes:
fan -- fan rpm and failures,
cpu -- cpu state at multicpu platform,
voltage -- voltage ranges,
temperature -- temperature sensors ranges.

Ranges of critical (of warning) state determine on hardware level of server.

This help info above is not much help.How should i configure this checker with $ARG ?

It looks like that check has to be installed in the remote server to work.
I found these links describing picld

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23824_01/htm ... cl-1m.html

Do you have SNMP running on that server so that could be used to monitor that hardware?

I wanna use this plugin for our esxi hosts running on sun fire x4170 m3 hardware, where in esxi should i place this plugin and how will the check command look like?

Yes snmp is running on these servers, i also want to use the plugin on vmboxes running solaris 10 what is the path i should upload it to, is it /usr/local/nagios/libexec/ and also here can you help to setup a commandline for the checker?

I think @tgriep was saying that you need to run this check_sun_hardware script on the remote machine instead of on the Nagios server. You would need to use something like NRPE to do so:

Hi.

Can i install the nrpe agent on a esxi host after that copy over the check_sun_hardware file to the esxi host to what path, there is no nagios folder on the esxi like /usr/local/nagios/

will i also use the check_sun_hardware in the command line in $ARG?

Reason for this questions i have not been able to use the vmware MIB file for these Sun servers and im after the hardware features this script have.

I just want to verify, Are you running VMWare on the sun fire x4170 m3 servers for the host operating system?
