Nagios Support Forum

I just wanted to come back and close the loop on this. VMWare support was of no help. They told me to come here. No surprise there. I did figure out the issue, just now, though. When the 'nagios' user was given the read-only role on node 3, we didn't check "Propagate to all child objects."...

The working and non-working both break at the same lines -- 1281 and 1361 Working: DB<1> b 1281 DB<2> b 1303 DB<3> b 1326 DB<4> b 1361 DB<5> c [extra-opts] check_vmware_api.pl -H 172.27.0.5 -u nagios -p <redacted> -l CPU -vvv CheckVMwareAPI::host_cpu_info(/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_vmware_api.p...

Strangely, everything seems to be undef with the working host as well.

Looking at the code, I pushed those t...

Hi Benjamin, Do you remember which version of the Vmware Perl SDK was installed on the XI server. It's not able to retrieve the host information. Now, it's running on 7.0U2. It was on 6.7U3 when I created the original post. I updated it to the most recent (7.0U2) before creating the new post. Did yo...

Hi Folks, We are currently running a Nagios XI appliance (version 5.8.2). We are trying to monitor several VMWare ESXi hosts (version 6.7.0, 14320388). I have four identical hosts which are HP DL 380 Gen 9 -- we are running the HP customized version of ESXi. Of the four hosts, three of them test wit...

Hi Folks, We are currently running a trial of the Nagios XI appliance (version 5.6.8) in consideration of migrating from Nagios Core. As part of this, we are trying to monitor several VMWare ESXi hosts (version 6.7.0, 14320388). I have four identical hosts which are HP DL 380 Gen 9 -- we are running...
