Error: Can't locate perl510.dll

The common, first check whether you can run perl in a command window.
Since the upgrade it may have potentially unset..
Try running a repair on the perl install (presumably you are using activeperl)

Check which perl you have installed.


Scan the Windows.old for the referenced dll.

I have the exact same checks on other Windows 10 VMs and Physical Windows 10 Desktop and they all work

I have no perl program installed on any of y computers

If you don't have perl installed on any of the computers, I'd be wondering why you're only getting that nagios alert for one of them, assuming the nagios check is configured for all of them.

You may want to uninstall all versions of Pearl and then install both the 32 bit and 64 bit of Pearl and then just uninstall them to get rid of the error.

I do not have perl installed  hard to repair something that does not exist.

Fishmonger

That what I am wondering also.  Yes I have the same check for over 50 computers.

Dana D    I do not have Perl installed on any computer can not uninstall it

Guys any other ideas?

Thank you

Do you know where I can get the software from?           Perl.org???   if so which version should I download Activestate Perl or Strawberry Perl?

Please provide a link


Thank you

Yes you can download from here:

 https://learn.perl.org/installing/windows.html

I've previously used activeperl, https://www.activestate.com/products/activeperl/

Other option is to locate the two checks that complain about this issue and see whether you need the checks.

this is the actual error message from Nagios


  WARNING

It is looking for active perl

If memory serves, nagios runs
If memory serves, it was/is perl driven.
This could be related to the web server.. processing.....

The "agent" that runs on the monitored system is commonly perl based script. much depends on the checks you are running.

which check failes with this error?
Do you need/use this check?

Arnold

Yes I require the checks  and yes they was working fine on all systems except for this one

define service{
        use                     generic-service
        host_name               hostname

}
define command{

        command_line    $USER1$/check_procs -c 1:30 -C explorer
}

Select allOpen in new window

From the Nagios server I run them from the command line example of the failing machine and one that works

/usr/lib/nagios/plugins# ./check_nrpe -t 50 -H Desk004 -c  check_explorer

/usr/lib/nagios/plugins# ./check_nrpe -t 50 -H DESK003 -c  check_explorer

Any ideas?

Dana D

installed ActivePerl checked that perl is in the path

PATH=C:\Perl64\site\bin;C:\Perl64\bin;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Users\maxg\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps;


Still getting the same errors

Guys,

After installing ActivePerl 5.24.3.2404   from perl.org site   the error still occurred.

So I decided to restart the desktop and after the restart all the checks just started working again.

The error message lead to the resolution activeperl was not in the path.

Still does not explain why the other desktops and servers do not have this problem.

Thanks for all your help

Tom

How does this desktop differ from others?
Restarting the service that listens for inbound connections should reset, require the path.
Could it be that activeperl, perl was uninstalled, corrupted on this desktop during the win10 update/upgrade process.
Check targeting on whether this workstation updates/upgrades on the business,,, targeted channel, semi-annually versus quarterly?

Great News Thomas! Glad to help Sir and thank you for the points!
