Works but ....
by leap77, March 31, 2017

plugin works, but you have to include the bug on the code. It's working for me on Nagios 4.2 with perl installed, lmutil and a yum -y install redhat-lsb to solve error from /lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory when you run lmutil from the bash. Thanks for the plugin



Patch to specify vendor, including previous patches as well
by viet.nguyen, August 31, 2013

I ran into an issue where if one vendor was down, any feature even with a different vendor would fail. So I added an argument to take in the vendor name as well: 86c86 Luca.sassone@omega-sistemi.it 93c93 Usage: perl check_flexlm_perf_data.plx -H hostname [-p port] [-f feature] [-S vendor] [-w %warning] 99c99 6)||(@ARGV eq "0")) --- > if ((@ARGV > 10)||(@ARGV eq "0")) 113a114 > my $feature = 0; 120c121 if (($_ ne "-p")&&($_ ne "-H")&&($_ ne "-f")&&($_ ne "-w")&&($_ ne "-S")) 127c128,129 $feature = $arg_hash{"-f"} if ($_ eq "-f"); > $vendor = $arg_hash{"-S"} if ($_ eq "-S"); 140,141c142,143 $lmstat_output = `$path_to_lmutil lmstat -f $feature -S $vendor -c $port@$server`; # Get output of lmstat for $vendor_daemon only 180a183 > my $seen_feature = 0; 191a195 > $seen_feature++; 207a212,214 > } elsif ($vendor && ($seen_feature == 0)) { > # We're looking for a feature and it's not there > $output = "FLEXlm CRITICAL: License Server for $vendor not available.n";



patch for alerting on missing feature
by Paul.Haldane, April 30, 2013

If used, for example, like this ... /tmp/check_flexlm_perf_data -H assdlic01 -p 1055 -f aa_r_cfdd -w 80 and the specified feature doesn't exist the plugin returns OK (0% of 0 licences used). The patch below treats a missing feature as a critical error.

Bug Fix for unintended interpolation of @omega
by Meyer, May 31, 2012

You might get an error like: check_flexlm_perf_data.plx: Possible unintended interpolation of @omega in string at ./check_flexlm_perf_data.plx line 61. To fix this change line 86 from: Luca.sassone@omega-sistemi.it to Luca.sassone@omega-sistemi.it There is another bug in the script 99c99 6)||(@ARGV eq "0")) --- > if ((@ARGV > 8)||(@ARGV eq "0")) ARGV has to be 8 instead of 6 if you use all parameters, like: -H HOST -p PORT -f LIC -w WARN
