Nagios check_mysql_health has been failing with plugin error

[mkumarv]

We have migrated our machines from centos to linux 8 version. And after this the Nagios has been upgrade to 4.4.14 version. In which it keeps reporting about the check_mysql_health plugin error.

(No output on stdout) stderr: my variable self masks earlier declaration in same scope at /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_mysql_health line 1064.

Even I am not able to check the plugin version

[root@nagios-data plugins]# ./check_mysql_health -V

You may need to reinstall the script using that docs include with its tar file.

[mkumarv]

Can you share the step for that or any reference document

I saw that earlier but in my existing one I have only two file under plugin check_mysql_health and check_mysql_health.pl

In the latest repo I could see it is a directory. Do i need to replace that directory for check_mysql_health ?

Don't extract the tar file in the plugins dir.

Don't extract the tar file in the plugins dir.

Can you share more specific step for this. Which location we have to tar the file ? Or in plugin directory place the directory ?

What are the perl packages required for this

[root@nagios-data plugins]# perl -cw ./check_mysql_health
Can't locate Time/HiRes.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Time::HiRes module) (@INC contains: /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_mysql_health line 803.

If I update this version perl-Time-HiRes-1.9764-459.module+el8.10.0+90267+7012ad3b then seeing the error message shared in the post
