Had to change the script to get the right environment variables


BEGIN {
unless (($ENV{BEGIN_BLOCK}) or $^C) {
$ENV{"LD_LIBRARY_PATH"} = '/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client/lib/';
$ENV{BEGIN_BLOCK} = 1;
exec 'env',$0,@ARGV;
}
}


My system is Red Hat Linux. I installed

oracle-instantclient11.2-basic-11.2.0.2.0.i386.rpm
oracle-instantclient11.2-sqlplus-11.2.0.2.0.i386.rpm


I think the lack of environment is due some changes in last versions of oracle instant client for linux.

Thanks for the plugin!

I think I am messing this up because i can´t seen to get this plugin working.Before I put plugins in Nagios3 I test then via command line like this ./check_oracle_instant replacing the words between with the appropriate data to fit my needs.Can anyone tell me if this is the correct syntax?

This script has a serious flaw, since it tries to login as "system" with an incorrect password. The result is that the "system" account is locked after a couple of attempts. Needs to be modified.

Very good because you dont need to add anythig to the oracle server. Works fine , tested. With DB up it was green , with oracle stopped it became critical , and while DB was starting up it sent a warning message.

Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 and SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.2.0 Production and it wont work, SQL plus will connect using something like

sqlplus username/passowrd@ip_address:port/SSID

rather than

sqlplus user/passwd@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(Host=IP or hostname)(Port=port))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=sid)))

ANy ideas on how to make this work? I cant figure it out ...

To make it work with a RAC cluster I had to do the following little changes in the code of the script.

replace $SID by $SERVICE_NAME (it happens 2 times)

It is compatible from my experience (using 10.1 and 10.2)

Thank you

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

my $host = $ARGV[0];
my $port = $ARGV[1];
my $sid = $ARGV[2];
my $user = $ARGV[3];
my $pass = $ARGV[4];

### point this to your sqlplus binary
my $sqlplus = "/usr/local/src/instantclient_11_2/sqlplus";

### point this to your sqlplus directory
$ENV{"LD_LIBRARY_PATH"} = "/usr/local/src/instantclient_11_2/";

Good morning, i can't run this script in my ubuntu distro with nagios or icinga. I get an error: need explicit attach before authenticating a user (DBD ERROR: OCISessionBegin). I va installed DBD::Oracle and DBI OK, but it not run.
What hapends??
