 Posted: Tue Dec 12, 2017 2:15 pm Post subject: where is the perl library located? [solved] |
 |
|
Health be upon you,
i'm trying to run a perl script for nagios, but it requires the path to the perl libarary.
i modified it as follows:
| Code: | my $perl_library = '/usr/lib64/perl5/';
use strict;
use lib $perl_library; |
but it throws out an error:
| Code: | Use of uninitialized value $path in string eq at /usr/lib64/perl5/5.24.3/x86_64-linux/lib.pm line 24.

read error

the program had initially this line:
| Code: | | use lib "/usr/local/nagios/libexec"; |
Any help?

Well, you have too many problems in one question. I'm not sure which one should be explained 
First of all, if some script complains about missing libraries, then you should show those errors, not the errors after your fixes.
Second, the "use lib" operation is performed at "parsing time", which happens before "run-time". And the "my $perl_library = '/usr/lib64/perl5';" is executed at "run-time". So the "use lib" does not see your variable, or more precisely, it sees uninitialized variable, since "run-time" has not happened yet.
Third, /usr/lib64/perl5/ does not contain perl libraries. The actual libraries are located in directory like /usr/lib64/perl5/5.24.3 and other subdirectories of /usr/lib64/perl5. These are system libraries and perl already knows about them, you don't need to manually add them. |

Sorry, but I don't use nagios, so I have no idea what that script is supposed to do. From the error you provided ("read error") I can say, that the problem is not with libraries but with the setup. The script can't obtain some information somewhere (firewall restriction? server crash?).
You'll be better off if you ask some nagios expert in an appropriate forum. But don't forget to describe there what you are trying to do. |

I tried creating a post in nagios forum, but i haven't received a conformation, which means they don't want to help.
Nagios is not needed to check this script. All you need is a tacacs server.
here is the output of connecting to a router instead of the tacacs server:
/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins $ ./check_tacacs_plus.pl -H routerIP -k kawabanga -u me -p hid
CRITICAL: connection failed

Same thing. I don't have tacacs server
Again, your error "CRITICAL: connection failed" indicates that the script can not talk to server. Are you sure that the server is available? Once again, it is not problem of the script, it is problem of your environment/setup. Do you know how to work with "netstat", "telnet", "tcpdump" or "wireshark"? Those can help you to debug network problems. |

All what was needed was to telnet to port 49 on the tacacs server, it immediately closed and so the problem was revealed.
to anyone interested, here is the complete solution:

check the site later today that is when they approve new posts.
