VCenter Appliance in Nagios

Greetings! I researched this topic and haven't found any useful information so I figured a new thread would be appropriate. Our particular VCenter setup is the VCSA (server appliance) which runs on SUSE Linux Enterprise 11. I initially tried to monitor it with the VMware wizard, but this caused issu...

Re: Host alerts down but server is up

Yep, a continuous ping from another host on the Nagios server subnet is producing the same packet loss. I guess I should have tried that first when I did the regular ping from another host. Very strange but I agree, that at this point, we can rule out Nagios being the problem. I will investigate fur...

Re: Host alerts down but server is up

Correct, it is only this particular host that is exhibiting this activity. The host is not in the same subnet as the Nagios server. However, I am monitoring many hosts on the same subnet as the affected host and they aren't showing this kind of activity. You are correct that it shows down for one ch...

Host alerts down but server is up

Greetings! I have a host that consistently alerts status as Down every 5 or 10 minutes, and then its next check succeeds. We receive flapping notifications during this activity. It will show Critical at a duration of -39s or around that mark (screenshot attached) and then it goes back to an OK statu...

Plugin for bulk file copies

Greetings, I'm looking for a way to monitor and alert our Windows file shares, specifically to alert on when a bulk file copy to the share is attempted by a user. We'd like to see alerts when it is happening. This will help us in responding to issues with our shadow copies and VSS. Thanks in advance...
