[Nagiosplug-help] check_arping dependencies

[Nigel Prentice]

This looks like a PERL problem to me. The PERL interpreter is telling us it can't locate Arping.pm in the standard library seach paths, and it goes ahead to list those for us.
When you have Arping.pm present on your system, add the following line into your check_arping.pl (near the beginning and before line 34!):
use lib "path-to-your-Arping.pm-location";
where path-to-your-Arping.pm-location is a complete pathname e.g. /usr/local/nagios/libexec/Net (remember the quotes around it)
So this is a missing PERL library, not a missing unix system library. There are at least two other ways to fix this PERL search path, but I find this method best.

  Hi,

  First, thanks for the great work you do guys.


  I'm trying to use check_arping plugin but with no success.

  I tried install these packages :

  libnet-pcap-perl libnet-libdnet-perl libnet-arp-perl arping

  But still not working : 

  root at supervision:/usr/lib/perl5/Net# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_arping.pl  -H 127.0.0.1 -I eth0 -T 10
  Can't locate Net/Arping.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/nagios/plugins /usr/local/nagios/libexec /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_arping.pl line 34.
  BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_arping.pl line 34.


  So I search on internet for Arping.pm, found one here :

  http://kobesearch.cpan.org/htdocs/Net-Arping/Net/Arping.pm.html

  I put it in /usr/lib/perl5/Net

  But still not working :

  root at supervision:/usr/lib/perl5/Net# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_arping.pl  -H 127.0.0.7 -I eth0 -T 10
  Can't locate loadable object for module Net::Arping in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/nagios/plugins /usr/local/nagios/libexec /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_arping.pl line 34
  Compilation failed in require at /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_arping.pl line 34.
  BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_arping.pl line 34.




  I don't understand something, sorry for my noob question, but can you help me make it working ?


  Big htanks
