Can't locate object method "new" via package "Monitoring::Plugin"

[tloubaresse]

Hi,

I just downloaded this plugin in order to link it with Eyes of network 4.2 (Nagios Core 3.5.1).

I encountered a few problems concerning libs and such but got it fixed. Now the problem seems like perl don't find the package Monitoring::Plugin which is strange because the use Monitoring::Plugin at the beginning of the check_raid.pl which is supposed to verify it, right? Or it would cancel the script if not found.

I'm just only beginning with perl so please correct me if I'm talking nonsense.

Anyway, I just had to modify the following lines of the check_raid.pl in order to get it to start :

!/usr/bin/perl

use lib '/home/nagios/nagios-plugin-check_raid-master/lib/App';
use Monitoring::Plugin@0.37;
use Monitoring::Plugin::CheckRaid;
use Monitoring::Plugin::CheckRaid::Sudoers;
use Monitoring::Plugin::CheckRaid::Plugin;
use Monitoring::Plugin::CheckRaid::Utils;

It is now starting but I got the following error :

./check_raid.pl -S

Can't locate object method "new" via package "Monitoring::Plugin" (perhaps you forgot to load "Monitoring::Plugin"?) at ./check_raid.pl line 16.

Line 16 corresponding to these :

my $mp = Monitoring::Plugin->new(
usage =>
"Usage: %s [-h] [-V] [-S] [list of devices to ignore]",

    version => $VERSION,
    blurb => join($/,
            "This plugin checks all RAID volumes (hardware and software) that can be identified",
            "",
            "Homepage: $URL",
            "Reporting Bugs: $BUGS_URL",
    ),

    plugin  => $PROGNAME,
    shortname => $PROGNAME,

);

I made sure I had downloaded the right version of Monitoring::Plugin by using the following command : cpanm Monitoring::Plugin@0.37

What did I do wrong?

Thanks a lot for your responses

Thomas

[glensc]

how did you download it? exact url please?

seems you did not download release version as described in README:
https://github.com/glensc/nagios-plugin-check_raid#installing

but rather unreleased dev version

neither i can figure out how you ran the code if you used git checkout:
https://github.com/glensc/nagios-plugin-check_raid#development

i.e what command did exactly do you run

the release version of this plugin is self contained, you do not need to modify any file or install dependencies.

[tloubaresse]

Hey,

Thanks for your response, and sorry for mine's almost 3 weeks late, was on vacation...
I checked what you told me and I indeed did download the dev version (with git).

Downloaded the 4.0.2 realease and got the same lib issue, but after updating the path, it seems to work fine :)
Thanks a lot and once again, sorry.

Thomas

[glensc]

err. what? what lib issue? what same? don't know what you're talking about if you don't show what was error and what you modified (diff -u)

[tloubaresse]

yes of course, sorry.

Nothing much, but the plugin couldn't find perl's plugin in lib/App/Monitoring/etc...
had to add use lib '[pathtodir]/lib/ at the beginning of check_raid/pl in order to start it. I also could copy the lib's folder in perl's @inc to get this working i guess.

I ain't a linux expert, so I can be confusing and messy, sorry about that.

[glensc]

err, wtf. i think you still downloaded wrong version. exact url please, which i already asked!

and by showing error, i do not need to hear "bla bla, etc" i need exact errors, copy-pasted to comment form here. do not omit anything because you'll likely omit the part i want to see. and use backticks block when pasting:

 ```
 text here
 ```

[tloubaresse]

Alright, here's the exact info :
link from where I downloaded the script : https://github.com/glensc/nagios-plugin-check_raid/archive/4.0.2.tar.gz

actions done :
tar xvf of the archive into the user's home directory
then

[root@eon nagios-plugin-check_raid-4.0.2]# ./check_raid.sh
Can't locate Monitoring/Plugin.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /home/nagios/nagios-plugin-check_raid-4.0.2/lib /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 /home/nagios/nagios-plugin-check_raid-4.0.2/bin/check_raid.pl line 2.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /home/nagios/nagios-plugin-check_raid-4.0.2/bin/check_raid.pl line 2.

if I verify :

 ls /home/nagios/nagios-plugin-check_raid-4.0.2/lib/App/Monitoring/Plugin/CheckRaid
Plugin.pm  Plugins  SerialLine.pm  Sudoers.pm  Utils.pm

the problem seems to be coming from the script looking for Plugin.pm in:

/home/nagios/nagios-plugin-check_raid-4.0.2/lib

when it's in

/home/nagios/nagios-plugin-check_raid-4.0.2/lib/App/Monitoring/Plugin/CheckRaid

I hope that it's what you wanted from me :)

If you want me to do specific actions, please tell me

[glensc]

so, you downloaded Source Code, but you should had downloaded the plugin itself:

[tloubaresse]

Right, that's it :) Will know next time, thx for your patience and advices...

I'll download it right away

[glensc]

the error you are getting: Can't locate Monitoring/Plugin.pm in @INC is not part of this program (see CPAN: Monitoring::Plugin), so there's nothing to fix in code. App/Monitoring/Plugin/CheckRaid/Plugin.pm is totally different module (part of this project)

if you wish to run the plugin using source code, you must install dependencies listed in cpanfile manually. easiest is probably just to do it with cpanminus:

$ cpanm --installdeps -n .

[tloubaresse]

Yes, it makes sense... Oh, all right, it'll be cleaner than what I did haha

thx a lot for all these infos :)

[glensc]

oh, and info is uncountable, always spelled as info, never infos or informations
