Hi Team,

We are getting below error while we are using VMware Wizard

Error: It appears as though you have not installed the VMware SDK or ESX plugins on your Nagios XI server. You must have these components properly installed on your system before using this wizard.

We have installed all the plugins and place the check_esx3.pl file in /usr/local/nagios/libexcec file even though we are getting same.

Please do the needful.

Thanks

What version of XI are you running?

Did you follow this guide?

Hi,

yes we have followed the guidelines provided by the document. Even though we are getting same error .
at present we are using 5.5.9 nagios XI version.

Can you go to Admin -> Manage Config Wizards
Check for updates

and make sure you have the latest VMware Wizard

Hi team,


We have latest version of vmware plugin 1.7.2 even though we are getting same error.

Please let us know how to resolve. apologies for late reply

Thanks.

@inas.labib, I've seen many users having issues with the latest SDK 6.7. I'd highly recommend reinstalling SDK and using version 6.5 instead.

Hi Team

We have vSphere CLI 6.5.0 build-4566394 for Linux version same error is repeating.

@inas.labib, Please sign in as the nagios user, manually run the plugin from the command line and show me the output with errors:

su - nagios
cd /usr/local/nagios/libexec/
./check_esx3.pl

Sometimes this gives a more detailed message on what is actually missing.

Hi

please find the below output.

nagios@host:~$ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_esx3.pl
Usage: check_esx3.pl -D <data_center> | -H <host_name> [ -N <vm_name> ]
-u <user> -p <pass> | -f <authfile>
-l <command> [ -s <subcommand> ]
[ -t <timeout> ] [ -w <warn_range> ] [ -c <crit_range> ]
[ -V ] [ -h ]

Missing argument: command
nagios@host:~$ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_esx3.pl -V
check_esx3.pl 0.2.0

command working fine , but in GUI we are getting the error.

Let's make sure that you installed all of the prerequisites. Run the following command and show the output: Also, run: then post the "cpan.txt" file that was generated in the "/tmp" directory by the above command.

Note: Last command may take a while to complete.
