I am trying to migrate from Core 4 to Nagios XI after migrating from Nagios 3.

The original system has been installed for quite a while, and it uses some plugins that I am migrating over. In particular (but not limited to) the plugin check_snmp_apc_pdu.pl when run gives me an error:

SNMP defines neither package nor VERSION--version check failed at /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_snmp_apc_pdu.pl line 7.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_snmp_apc_pdu.pl line 7.

The beginning of that plugin is shown here:

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
require 5.6.0;
use lib qw( /opt/nagios/libexec );
use utils qw(%ERRORS $TIMEOUT &print_revision &support &usage);
use SNMP 5.0;
use Getopt::Long;
use vars qw( $exit $message $opt_host $opt_help $opt_community $opt_phases $opt_phase_1 $opt_phase_3 $opt_status_A $opt_status_B $opt_status_C $opt_return_ok $opt_return_warn $opt_return_crit $PROGNAME $TIMEOUT );

$PROGNAME      = "check_snmp_liebert_alarms.pl";
$opt_host      = undef;
$opt_community = 'public';
$message       = undef;
$exit          = 'UNKNOWN';
$opt_return_ok = 'phaseLoadNormal';
$opt_return_warn = 'phaseLoadNearOverload';
$opt_return_crit = 'phaseLoadOverload';
$opt_phases    = undef;
$opt_phase_1   = 'INTEGER: 1';
$opt_phase_3   = 'INTEGER: 3';
$opt_status_A  = undef;

I am new to perl and still wet behind the ears with Linux.

Can anyone explain why I am getting this error, and more importantly how to fix it?

Thanks in Advance

You'll likely need to make sure the SNMP package is installed:

Code: Select all

cpan -i SNMP

It's hard to say exactly where modifications should be made without seeing the full script, but I would start with some of the includes (specifically lines 4 and 7):

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
# require 5.6.0; # -- removed
use lib qw( /opt/nagios/libexec );
use utils qw(%ERRORS $TIMEOUT &print_revision &support &usage);
use SNMP; # -- removed version number
use Getopt::Long;
use vars qw( $exit $message $opt_host $opt_help $opt_community $opt_phases $opt_phase_1 $opt_phase_3 $opt_status_A $opt_status_B $opt_status_C $opt_return_ok $opt_return_warn $opt_return_crit $PROGNAME $TIMEOUT );

$PROGNAME      = "check_snmp_liebert_alarms.pl";
$opt_host      = undef;
$opt_community = 'public';
$message       = undef;
$exit          = 'UNKNOWN';
$opt_return_ok = 'phaseLoadNormal';
$opt_return_warn = 'phaseLoadNearOverload';
$opt_return_crit = 'phaseLoadOverload';
$opt_phases    = undef;
$opt_phase_1   = 'INTEGER: 1';
$opt_phase_3   = 'INTEGER: 3';
$opt_status_A  = undef;

Without knowing exactly what parts of the previous SNMP package were being used, it's hard to say what the best course of action is.

I commented out line 7 on all the files presenting the problem. It seems to have corrected the situation. Thanks for the assist.

Be Well

Sounds good. You may wish to update that plugin, but yes that defined version of SNMP is quite outdated. Is it okay to close this thread?
