Problem plugin=apps::vmware::vsphere8::esx::plugin

Hi,

Can you make sure the script file has been installed in full?

Here’s what I get:

md5sum /usr/lib/centreon/plugins/centreon_vmware8_esx_restapi.pl
b5a3d04c0c5f13ed1e3e92a396feea3a  /usr/lib/centreon/plugins/centreon_vmware8_esx_restapi.pl

yes:

[xxxxx@centreon-pr ~]# md5sum /usr/lib/centreon/plugins/centreon_vmware8_esx_restapi.pl
b5a3d04c0c5f13ed1e3e92a396feea3a  /usr/lib/centreon/plugins/centreon_vmware8_esx_restapi.pl

Dernière vérification de l’expiration des métadonnées effectuée il y a 2:13:28 le ven. 11 avril 2025 06:06:06.
Le paquet centreon-plugin-Virtualization-Vmware8-Esx-Restapi-20250400-1.el9.noarch est déjà installé.

Don’t you have this subroutine defined line 4269?

  sub is_empty {
      my $value = shift;
      if (!defined($value) or $value eq '') {
          return 1;
      }
      return 0;
  }

It should be contained in 

the section opening line 3955:

$fatpacked{"centreon/plugins/misc.pm"} = '#line '.(1+__LINE__).' "'.__FILE__."\"\n".<<'CENTREON_PLUGINS_MISC';

Yes i have

UNKNOWN: Undefined subroutine &centreon::plugins::misc::is_empty called at /usr/lib/centreon/plugins/centreon_vmware8_esx_restapi.pl line 839.


line 839:

Info:

• vSphere 8.0.3.00400

• Centreon 23.10.23
• AlmaLinux 9.5

Would you happen to have something else than the packaged plugins under /usr/lib/centreon/plugins  such as a clone of the plugins’ github repo?

No, I just checked, it's the only vmware, with the global centreon_plugins.pl it's the same thing

If you have centreon_plugins.pl then you have the github repo cloned, and it may explain your problem.

What does this command give you?

find /usr/lib/centreon/plugins/ -maxdepth 2 -type d

So, how do I remove this duplicate, because I use centreon_plugins.pl a lot :/

Maybe I’m following a false track, so don’t break anything at the moment, but can you do the following commands to try to isolate the plugin?

cp /usr/lib/centreon/plugins/centreon_vmware8_esx_restapi.pl /tmp/
export PERL5LIB=
/tmp/centreon_vmware8_esx_restapi.pl <all the arguments of your previous check command>

If my previous test works, here’s what I suggest to make everything work:

• First, change the path of your custom commands by adding gh-plugins after $CENTREONPLUGINS$.
  Meaning: $CENTREONPLUGINS$/centreon_plugins.pl should become $CENTREONPLUGINS$/gh-plugins/centreon_plugins.pl.
• Then hold before exporting the configuration and run the following commands on each poller:

cd /usr/lib/centreon/plugins/
mkdir gh-plugins
mv $(find . -maxdepth 1 -type d -not -name gh-plugins -not -name .) gh-plugins/

• And right after that, export the configuration to all pollers.

After that you should not have interactions between the local github plugins and the packaged plugins.
