Hi,

I had installed check_website plugin for nagios on ubuntu linux. When i run the ./check_website,

i get the following error :

./check_website
Can't locate LWP/UserAgent.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at ./check_website line 19.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./check_website line 19.

How do i go ahead ? Pls help.

Thanks
Venu

Install the Perl module LWP::UserAgent plus all dependencies.

$ perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> install Bundle::LWP

(this installas all the LWP modules)

You appear to be downloading the packages from a site in China?

You need internet access (FTP) for this to work and automatically download packages.

Also your mirror site needs to be up and available. Somehow you're configured to use a site in China for your packages, if this is not correct or the site is down you'll need to reconfigure to use a different mirror for CPAN.

Try:

perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> o conf urllist pop
cpan> o conf urllist push ftp://ftp.auckland.ac.nz/pub/CPAN/
cpan> install Bundle::LWP

Resolved the issue by doing "apt-get install libwww-perl".

And also the auckland server was up to install the modules. Funniest part was that even after the perl installation, it was showing errors in some other .pm ..anyways, got fixed after installilng libwww package(??)

Glad its working now, you were missing the UserAgent module but I never know which Linux package it will be kept in...

Hello,

I have just tried to run ./check_website.pl and it returns this:

Unable to open script.scr!

I have latest perl installed and have giving the file the permissions of chmod +rwx check_website.pl

Have also done as stated above, no errors there.

And with the file the way it is now, nagios is giving an out-of-bounds error.

Thanks in Advance,

You need to have created a check script for check_website to use. If you don't give the name of the script on the command line, it will assume a name of script.scr.

If there is no script it exits with a -1 status (which is out of bounds for nagios, technically it should give status 3 (unknown) on a script error)

Check what command line arguments you are giving the check_website script, and make sure you have created a checking script so it knows what URLs to retrieve.

Steve

When i run ./check_website.pl i get: PROCESS COMPLETED.

When i run it through Nagios i get "==> Added initial symbol HOST=www.youtube.com" in Status Information.

I used the samples with only minimal changes (i changed the hostname and using only a FETCH in the scr-file).
