I suck with Linux, and I’m not a pro at Nagios. I’m trying to install a plugin to check the LDAP on one of my domain controllers.
So I download this script, and copy over the various information for the commands.cfg and service check stuff.
Well when I start it up in Nagios I get the error…
Return code of 126 is out of bounds - plugin may not be executable
So I do some research and try to run the actual script on the Terminal.
When I run the command I found that I actually need some Net::LDAP::Util. So I managed to get that installed, but it still will not work.
When I run the script in the terminal I get…
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ldap.pl: line11: use: command not found
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ldap.pl: line12: use: command not found
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ldap.pl: line13: use: command not found
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ldap.pl: line14: use: Syntax error near unexpected token (' /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ldap.pl: line 14: use Net::LDAP::Util qw(ldap_error_text);`
I cannot find documentation anywhere that even talks about the basics of installing plugins. And most plugins I find on the internet are lacking actual details on what’s required or how to install them, which is difficult to a non-expert.
I don’t mind doing some reading to find out how to make this work, but some guidance would be awesome.
EDIT: Here is where I got the plugin from…
