Trying to install nagios plugins from old github repo

Hello, so I was configuring a new centreon solution manually and in a command check called: OS-Linux-SNMP-Traffic-If-SpeedI found the following command:$USER1/$/check_centreon_snmp_traffic -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -S --snmp-version='$_HOSTSNMPVERSION$' $_HOSTSNMPTRAFFICEXTRAOPTIONS$ -i '$_SERVICEINTERFACENAME$' -n -w '$_SERVICEWARNING$' -c '$_SERVICECRITICAL$' $_SERVICEEXTRAOPTIONS$however, I didn’t know where to find “check_centreon_snmp_traffic” file so I’ve looked online and found this github repo:centreon-plugins/src/check_centreon_snmp_traffic at 7bd0a4bd38bb7f9ce7be15b1a0efd045245b4a84 · centreon/centreon-plugins · GitHub And it contains the file, so I’ve followed the insctructions on the read me file, aka:- just run install.sh in src/ directory- don't directly copy plugins in Nagios plugins directoryand I did just that, I downloaded the whole directory, and I tried running the ./install.sh file, however I got this error:I’m guessing ebcause the “functions” dir doesn’t exist but I’m not

[CENTREON 24.10.5] Extreme Network Plugin

Hi everyone, We are new in Centreon configuration and we get some issues using one plugin. I’m french so I hope my English will be understandable. We just install the plugin “Extreme Network” on our Centreon  24.10.5 to monitor our Extreme switches.We configured SNMPv3 on our Extreme switches :$enable snmp access$configure snmpv3 add user toto authentication sha tototitiauth privacy aes tototitipri$configure snmpv3 add group admin user toto sec-model usm$configure snmpv3 add access admin sec-model usm sec-level priv read-view defaultAdminView write-view defaultAdminView notify-view defaultNotifyView In Centreon, we create these entries for the host model :SNMPUSERNAME    totoAUTHPROTOCOL    SHAAUTHPASSPHRASE    ‘tototitiauth’PRIVPROTOCOL    AESPRIVPASSPHRASE    ‘tototitipri’SNMPEXTRAOPTIONS We select the v3 for SNMP version and do not define the name SNMP community.

Memory and CPU usage of a Cisco CBS350

Hi everyone,I’m encountering an error with the centreon_cisco plugin while trying to monitor memory usage on a Cisco CBS350 switch (firmware version 3.4.0.17): UNKNOWN: Cannot find memory informationsHas anyone experienced this issue before? If so, are there known workarounds to retrieve memory metrics?Details: The plugin fails to fetch memory data via SNMP. A custom script workaround might require privilege level 15 (full admin access), which is restrictive. Questions: Is there a specific OID for memory monitoring on CBS350 switches running firmware 3.4.0.17? Are there alternative methods to monitor memory without requiring privilege level 15? Any insights, scripts, or configuration tips would be greatly appreciated!Thanks

Monitor web page return code

Hi,I am trying to add a check on a web page to ensure it is up and running. I tried with the HTTP plugin with the HTTP-Response-Time service template. By default it will fail only if the web server is not responding but it will be OK even with a 404 error for exemple. So I guess I have to use the option --critical-status to check that return code is 200. This gave me the following command/usr/lib/centreon/plugins//centreon_protocol_http.pl--plugin=apps::protocols::http::plugin--mode=response--hostname=myhostname--proto='https'--port='443'--urlpath=''--warning=''--critical=''--http-peer-addr='my_web_page_url'--critical-status='%{http_code} != 200'However when the web page URL returns a status different from 200 the test is still OK.I guess I should use a different syntax for the --critical-status parameter? But all the exemples I found refers to this syntax.I might have to use a different plugin or template to do what I seek? But I could not find which one then.Your help or comments are

UNKNOWN: Can't call method "add_options" on an undefined value when using HDS CSU REST plugin

Hello,I'm running Centreon and trying to use the plugin hardware::hds::csu::rest::plugin  (internally developed but issue is not related to the plugin) to monitor an HDS storage system via REST. However, I'm getting the following error when executing the plugin manually:UNKNOWN: Can't call method "add_options" on an undefined value at /usr/lib/centreon/plugins/centreon-plugins/src/centreon/plugins/http.pm line 32.Here's the command I'm running:perl /usr/lib/centreon/plugins/centreon-plugins/src/centreon_plugins.pl \ --plugin=hardware::hds::csu::rest::plugin \ --mode=alerts \ --custommode=api \ --hostname=xxxxxx \ --username='localhost\xxxxx' \ --password='xxxx' \ --csuid='4c4c4544-0046-4210-8033-b8c04f335732' \ --ssl-opt='SSL_verify_mode => SSL_VERIFY_NONE'Additional notes: All required Perl packages (e.g. perl-libwww-perl, perl-LWP-Protocol-https, etc.) are installed. Basic plugin tests like check_ping or check_memory work fine using the same Perl binary and environment.

Centreon plugin fails with 'Can't locate ZMQ/LibZMQ4.pm' despite zeromq installed – conflict with system packages

Hi all,I'm trying to use the Centreon plugin for VMware (apps::vmware::connector::plugin) on a poller running RHEL 9 / AlmaLinux 9. The plugin fails with the following error: UNKNOWN: Cannot load module --custommode. Can't locate ZMQ/LibZMQ4.pm in @INC (you may need to install the ZMQ::LibZMQ4 module) (@INC contains: /usr/lib/centreon/plugins/centreon-plugins/src ...) I installed zeromq and zeromq-devel from the default system repo, which provides version 4.3.4. However, ZMQ::LibZMQ4 requires libzmq headers to compile, and Centreon’s own repo (centreon-24.10-stable) provides zeromq-devel-4.3.5, which conflicts with the system-installed version: Error: Problem: package zeromq-devel-4.3.5-1.el9.x86_64 from centreon-24.10-stable requires libzmq5 = 4.3.5-1.el9, but none of the providers can be installed - libzmq5-4.3.5 conflicts with zeromq 4.3.4 from @System Since Gorgoned is already running using the system version of zeromq, I don't want to risk breaking it by replacing it.I’m not sure

Gorgone configuration file : Error when connecting to the Gorgone server

Hello everyone I had deployed a machine as a poller and connected it to centreon, then later i exported it to a different network and wanted to attach it to a different centreon server, however the command “/usr/share/centreon/bin/registerServerTopology.sh -u admin -t poller -h 192.168.0.1 -n poller-1’ was run succesfully and I could see the poller in the list when I went to add it, however when It came to the gorgoned file I click to copy the contents and I see the error above, I’m unsure what I’m supposed to do, I deleted the old gorgoned file and restarted the service on both the central and the poller, and redeployed the poller and added it again, still same issue, I’m unsure what I should do, I also deleted the log files and the key files: rm -rf /var/lib/centreon-gorgone/.keysrm -rf /var/log/centreon-gorgone/*
