[Nagios-users] check_openmanage.exe cannot find Dell OMSA

Hey folks,

I'm trying to teach my newest Nagios installation how to test Dell's
hardware on remote Windows boxes via NRPE/NSClient++, and I'm running
into a snag:

./check_nrpe -H HOSTNAME -c check_openmanage
ERROR: Dell OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) is not installed

Hmm. It's installed, and it's installed on every host I've tried
so far, but each of them report that OMSA is not installed. Running
the check_openmanage.exe from the command prompt locally on the
Windows machine reports the exact same, that it thinks OMSA is not
installed.

Thoughts/cluebats?

Thanks!

Benny

Hi,

Which version of check_openmanage is this? Find out with

check_openmanage.exe -V

Also, where is omreport.exe installed on your hosts?

Cheers,

Hi Trond,

-V reports v3.5.1. I believe that's the latest release.

omreport.exe is in F:\dellopenmanage\oma\bin, which is where our
infrastructure group stores their software (the F: drive). Is there
a way to tell check_openmanage where it is?

Thanks!

Benny

Yes, your problem is that omreport.exe is not installed in the search
path of check_openmanage. You can use the '--omreport' option to specify
where omreport.exe is, like this:

check_openmanage.exe --omreport F:\dellopenmanage\oma\bin\omreport.exe

This should be configured in your nsc.ini file on the hosts.

Cheers,

Thank you, Trond... That fixed everything up! I should have seen
that option...
