Good morning.After performing an apt update && upgrade to update Centreon (and updating it from the web interface), my entire VCenter monitoring system (Vmware) has stopped working. The service gives me the following error, which I can't find a way to fix (I haven't deleted anything). Thank you so much to anyone who can give me an answer.


jun 17 13:38:59 Centreon systemd[1]: Started centreon_vmware.service - Centreon VMWare.
jun 17 13:38:59 Centreon perl[14984]: Can't locate VMware/VIRuntime.pm in @INC (you may need to install the VMware::VIRuntime module) (@INC contains: /usr/bin /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86>

Hello 👋 ​@Alvaro 

 

Upgrade from which version, there are some steps that might be required.

https://docs.centreon.com/pp/integrations/plugin-packs/getting-started/how-to-guides/additional-connector-configuration/

Solved! Following this guide:
https://docs.centreon.com/pp/integrations/plugin-packs/procedures/virtualization-vmware2-vcenter-6/

I'm confused because I didn't have to do any of this the first time I configured it, and I don't understand how a Perl dependency could disappear after updating.
 

Thank you so much  for ur time:)
