Nagios Support Forum

Hello Experts,

Can anyone help me out to configure the WMI agent ( Agentless monitoring for windows machine) configuration on the existing Nagios server.

Version: Nagios core 3.5.0
OS version :Centos 6.5

I have gone through the link http://www.edcint.co.nz/checkwmiplus/ but there is no proper installation steps in detail and got lot of dependency error.
I am looking for detailed procedure to deploy the WMI configuration level and to monitor the windows machines through agentless in the existing nagios Monitoring dashboard.

Thanks in Advance.

Cheers
Simbu

For the Windows side of things, do everything on the first 11 pages of this documentation:
https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios-XI.pdf

I realize the documentation says Nagios XI, but the first few steps are just as valid with Nagios Core.

For check_wmi_plus, I do not know of any "step by step" procedure for setting this up beyond the official documentation written by the maintainer. Practically every solution is going to depend on the system on which you are installing check_wmi_plus. If you can share the package/dependency failures you encountered, specific advice can probably be offered.

Thanks @mcapra!

OP, did you have any other questions?

Hello mcapra,

Thanks for reply.

I have done changes on windows side as per the procedure provided in the link.

I followed the procedure for installing check_wmi plus and while doing testing I got the below error.

[root@nagios_test plugins]# ./check_wmi_plus.pl -m checkcpu -H <hostname> -u wmiagent -p XXXX
Can't locate Number/Format.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/nagios/plugins /usr/local/lib64/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 .) at ./check_wmi_plus.pl line 52.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./check_wmi_plus.pl line 52.

Please help me out to clear the dependencies error.

Thanks in Advance.

@rohithroki, You could probably install the missing module with:

Hello,

The package is already been installed

Package 1:perl-TimeDate-1.16-13.el6.noarch already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

but still I am getting the below error.

[root@nagios_test plugins]# ./check_wmi_plus.pl -m checkcpu -H <hostname> -u wmiagent -p <XXX>
Can't locate Number/Format.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/nagios/plugins /usr/local/lib64/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/sh are/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 .) at ./check_wmi_plus.pl line 52.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./check_wmi_plus.pl line 52.

Please help me to solve.

@rohithroki, I'd like to see the list of all perl modules installed on your OS. Please run these commands: That will create 2 test files: installed1.txt and installed2.txt that you can upload here.

Hi npolovenko,

Thanks for the reply.

I have taken the files and uploaded

But I am unable to run the command.

[root@nagios_test ~]# cpan -l > installed2.txt
Unknown option: l
Nothing to install!

@rohithroki, Please install this package:

Hi,

I'm getting the depending error while installing the package.
