Help with intermittent unknown status on checking VMware

We are using check_esx3.pl to check ESX host status. When I run the check commands, everything seems to run fine. However, occasionally I see this message:
Code: Select all
**ePN /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_esx3.pl: plugin did not call exit()
**ePN /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_esx3.pl: "Use of uninitialized value $opt in string eq at /usr/share/perl5/Getopt/Long.pm line 487,".
Now it seems to go away on the next check. I am not sure where this error is coming from since the manual checks via console seems to return the results just fine.
We are using gearman setup.
Check Command:
$USER1$/check_esx3.pl -H "$HOSTADDRESS$" -f "$ARG1$" -l "$ARG2$" $ARG3$

Please upgrade your check_esx3.pl to the latest version or add this on the second line of the plugin:
Let us know the results.

A couple points of clarification:
- What perl version are the gearman workers running?
- What gearman version are you running?
- What XI version are you running?
- When run from the CLI, how long does the check take?

Apologies, seems like the check_esx3.pl file on the gearman worker servers are different. I have updated them and will monitor.

So far seems to still be happening with another error message: (and some with the same error as above)
Code: Select all
**ePN failed to compile /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_esx3.pl: "Variable "$blacklist" will not stay shared at (eval 1) line 3798," at /usr/share/mod_gearman/mod_gearman_p1.pl line 240
Code: Select all
# perl -v
This is perl, v5.10.1 (*) built for x86_64-linux-thread-multi
gearmand 1.1.8
on XI box mod_gearman_worker: version 1.5.0b1 running on libgearman 1.1.8
on gearman workers: mod_gearman_worker: version 1.4_nagios4 running on libgearman 0.25
XI version 2.5.9
When running from CLI, the results come back instantly

Update: So interestingly enough, I actually removed the line from XI and gearman workers and now the checks are fine.... will continue to monitor...
