Nagios Support Forum

Hello, Im installing new Nagios Relay Worker in Customer env.
Red Hat on that server is in version:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.8 (Ootpa)

I download the VMware SDK in version 7.0.0 *VMware-vSphere-Perl-SDK-7.0.0-16453907.x86_64.tar.gz),
because i read that needed version for RedHat 8.
Now i have issues with installing that.

After run script "vmware-install.pl", accepting all terms i have information like:
CPAN not able to install following Perl modules on the system. These must be
installed manually for use by vSphere CLI:

UUID 0.27 or newer

Meanwhile I installed the uuid using "yum install uuid".
And in system its normally ocurs:
rpm -qa | grep uuid
libuuid-2.32.1-42.el8_8.x86_64
uuid-1.6.2-43.el8.x86_64
libuuid-devel-2.32.1-42.el8_8.x86_64

But still after trying installation SDK the above info still appears.
I dont know why its not see that UUID modules.

I will be glad for any hint or help.

The perl sdk hasn't been supported for a while.

Hi again, okey I already manage to install that SDK.
Its need "cpan -i UUID" - my stupidy.

But now even when i had information:
The installation of vSphere CLI 7.0.0 build-16453907 for Linux completed
successfully. You can decide to remove this software from your system at any
time by invoking the following command:
"/usr/bin/vmware-uninstall-vSphere-CLI.pl".

This installer has successfully installed the vSphere SDK for Perl.

The following Perl modules were found on the system but may be too old to work
with vSphere CLI:

Socket6 0.28 or newer

Enjoy,

When i run the check_vmware_api.pl i have output:
VMWARE_API UNKNOWN - Missing perl module VMware::VIRuntime. Download and install 'VMware vSphere SDK for Perl', available at https://my.vmware.com/group/vmware/downloads

So its looks like it have installed SDK but it still cannot find that ;/
