Nagios Support Forum

Hello,

I'm advancing a bit with installing and deploying Nagios in my new environment. But i want to monitor my ESX hosts, i've read about installing a file vmware.install.pl.

So i used winscp to get the file on my Nagios server, done. Placed it in the /tmp/ dir. Then logged in the shell with root + my password, cd /tmp/. Then i was heading for the vmware-vpshere-cli-ditrib folder. The i just did what's mentioned, ./vmware.install.pl.

I got the message bash"....." Access Denied..... Quite nice when i was logged on as root....

The instructions that i've been following are mentioned in this topic. The same as mentioned in the nagios exchange topic.

later on i was reading about the fact that i needed to use "su" before installing anything. So i closed the shell, reopened it again, logged on with root + my password. Used "su"but nothing seemed to happen, just another line appeared....

How to proceed with this... Can anybody help me out?

try changing the permissions to allow execute

It's still not working for me when trying the solution mentioned above.

See info below.

Hmmm, we need to find the vmware.install.pl file
Try this Then cd to that directory and then run

The vmware.install.pl is located in cd /tmp/vmware-vsphere.cli-ditrib/vmware-install.pl

But all of the commands won't worked, i get bashed all of the time.

Don't know why i installed all of the stuff myself without any issues... The command "su" is also mentioned "-bash: su: command not found"

Can you give me a screenshot of what you get when you type and then Thanks.

Okay, will do that.
