This looks more useful: $ tail -f /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.debug [1520622376.986228] [001.0] [pid=23633] add_event() [1520622376.986232] [008.1] [pid=23633] ** Event Check Loop [1520622376.986241] [008.1] [pid=23633] Next Event Time: Fri Mar 9 13:06:27 2018 [1520622376.986245] [008.1] [pid=23633...

Ok, I set the debug level to 1 and restarted Nagios. Then I disabled all monitored hosts & services other than the one CPU check that uses this plugin to isolate the relevant data to the debug file. I started a tail of the debug file, then clicked on 'Force an immediate check' for the "CPU ...

1 - $ sestatus
SELinux status: disabled

2 - Credentials are correct

3 - -rw-r--r--. 1 apache nagios 37 Feb 27 15:00 [HOST]_auth.txt

I disabled SELinux, then verified the other two. Service checks are still timing out:

(Service check timed out after 180.01 seconds)

After installing perl-Nagios-Plugin, the checks are again timing out from within XI: (Service check timed out after 180.01 seconds) Running the check command from within CCM yields the following output: [nagios@HOST ~]$ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_esx3.pl -H "ESXi IP" -f "/usr/loc...

Installed the new plugin: -rwxr-xr-x. 1 apache nagios 169439 Mar 2 15:54 check_esx3.pl Then ran chmod: -rwxrwxrwx. 1 apache nagios 169439 Mar 2 15:54 check_esx3.pl Now XI is throwing this error when trying to run the check: (No output on stdout) stderr: Can't locate Nagios/Plugin/Functions.pm in @IN...

Running the check command as the nagios user still errors out: ESX3 CRITICAL - HOST CPU Unknown error

Yes, I am using the ESXi IP & hostname in the command. Here's what I get adding '--verbose' to the command (I tried adding it to the front & back): bash-4.2$ ./check_esx3.pl -H "IP" -f "/usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/components/vmware/HOST_auth.txt" -l "CPU" --verbose ...
