Nagios Support Forum

I recently downloaded the trial version of Nagios XI. I am trying to configure certain monitoring tools such as "SNMP Traps" and "VM Ware" to monitor a VM.

When I click these options in the configuration wizard I am greeted with the error stating that the plugins or .py modules are not installed. For example:
Configuration Wizard: VMware
"Error: It appears as though you have not installed the VMware SDK or ESX plugin on your Nagion XI server. You must have these components properly installed on your system before using this wizard"

Also note that my NagiosXI server is in an environment with no connection to the internet.

Is there anywhere that I can get these from for the trial version of Nagios XI, or are they just unavailable in the trial version?

Thanks

Hi @DarenBrim23,

You will need to Install the prerequisites for the VMware SDK and Install the VMware Perl SDK on the Nagios XI server.

Please follow this guide Monitoring VMware With Nagios XI

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi @dwasswa,

I followed the documentation, and the following packages weren't available:
zperl-Nagios-Plugin
perl-XML-LibXML

Where do I get these packages from?

Also, my server is in an environment with no connection to the internet therefor, I cannot configure a repo server that points to the internet to automatically download packages.

Thanks

I think there's a typo; Should be perl-Nagios-Plugin instead of zperl-Nagios-Plugin.

perl-Nagios-Plugin is definitely in EPEL:
http://mirror.math.princeton.edu/pub/epel/7/x86_64/p/

perl-XML-LibXML is Base I think.

How did you install Nagios XI? There's specific steps for offline installations; Simply deploying an OVA in an offline environment can cause problems down the road.

If you're in an offline environment, you might need to build those Perl modules by hand or download the RPMs yourself and move them to the machine.

This is an old package NOT supported by Nagios
The new package is Nagios::Monitoring::Plugins

Install instruction can be found in this thread
