Hi @mejokj,


Please try to re-install the Vmware SDK once more, make sue you see the "Enjoy, --the VMware team" message once the install has completed. If not post any error output to the thread.

You'll find the installation steps for installing the SDK on page 4 of the following guide:

Monitoring VMware With Nagios XI

Also, let's make sure the plugin is in the directory with the proper permissions and then test this once more. Best Regards,
Benjamin

Hi Team,

We have re-installed the SDK. We can see  “Enjoy statements in the output. But the issue still persists.

Attached error screenshot for your reference. We have plugincheck_esx3.pl too.

Hi @mejokj

That's strange. Please go to Admin > System Extensions > Manage Config Wizards, then select the Check For Updates button, and make sure you have the current version, if not, go ahead and upgrade the config wizard.

I'm not able to read the error message on the screenshot, please post the output to the following command to the ticket. Thanks,
Benjamin

Hi,

We have updated the config wizards. Please find attached a screenshot.

Thanks,

Hi @mejokj,

That looks correct. I believe there maybe some kind of permissions issue with the wizard. Please run the following tail command as root:
Then load the main page of the wizard (Step 1) with the error message and post the full output of the tail command to the thread.

Best Regards,
Benjamin

Hi,

Please find attached log message.

Thanks

HI @mejokj,

Thanks for your patience on this one, the log looks normal. We have may have to move this over to a support ticket for further troubleshooting.

Can you send us the system profile?

To send us your system profile.
Login to the Nagios XI GUI using a web browser.
Click the "Admin" > "System Profile" Menu
Click the "Download Profile" button

Also, if you can run the tail command once more, load the VMware wizard page and post the apache log output once more, however, let's do this as the nagios user account. And the run the following command is the nagios user as well and post the output from both commands to the thread.

Hi,

Please find the details requested. We have sent you the system profile file as PM only to you.

[root@ittestnagiosxi ~]# su nagios

[nagios@ittestnagiosxi root]$ tail -f /var/log/httpd/*_log

tail: cannot open ‘/var/log/httpd/*_log’ for reading: Permission denied

Thanks

Hi mejokj,

Pretty sure this is some type of permissions issue but I'm not able to find anything in the system profile or the log output that's been posted. Please open a support ticket for this issue and reference this thread for further troubleshooting. To open a support ticket, please go to:

Thanks for your patience.
