Check_MK upgrading (1.5.0p7.cee -> current stable 1.6.0p*)

Hi again all,

First, I want to apologise for the loooong post.
So, I have updated the agent and the plugins, but the discovery still breaks with the following. I have all the checks working, expect the ASM disk-related ones - the used/free space ones.
"Starting job…

Maybe I did something wrong with the update, so I am writing down how I updated the agent and the plugins:
0. Deleted the VM from monitoring.

  1. Agent update:
    Went to the Check_mk server GUI -> WATO -> Monitoring agents -> agent files -> Packaged agents category - > downloaded the check-mk-agent-1.6.0p16-1.noarch.rpm
    SCP the file to the monitored VM and:
    rpm -U check-mk-agent-1.6.0p16-1.noarch.rpm
    systemctl reload xinted.service

checked the update with:

check_mk_agent | head
<<<check_mk>>>
Version: 1.6.0p16
AgentOS: linux

  1. Plugins update. I have only 3 plugins for that server (at least that is what is in “/usr/lib/check_mk_agent/plugins”) - mk_oracle, mk_oracle_asm & mk_oracle_crs.
    So I went again to:
    Check_mk server GUI -> WATO -> Monitoring agents -> agent files -> LINUX/UNIX AGENTS - PLUGINS category. Opened the above-mentioned plugins in a browser and copy-pasted the text into the files with the same names in /usr/lib/check_mk_agent/plugins. The text is copied via notepad++ and into VIM so I guess no special characters or something is inserted.

  2. Add the host again to the monitoring. And the error from the start of my post is presented when I do Full scan. I believe that the agent is working, because there are a LOT of checks discovered. The machine is pretty much monitored as it should be - just no info about the ASM free/used space.

Will be gratefull if someone can give some insight.
Thank you in advance.
