Re: VMware ESXi SOAP request error

I'll look into doing that this week. I went ahead and reinstalled and noticed this after the successful installation prompt. From other threads and documentation it says to ignore it. But it seems like this could be the main problem. "The following Perl modules were found on the system but may ...

Re: VMware ESXi SOAP request error

Unfortunately this is a completely offline environment. Internet access is not an option. When looking at VMware's website I am running the newest version of VMware vSphere Perl SDK 6.5. I will see about bringing in a newer patch set, but the set we have is from May 1st 2019.

Re: VMware ESXi SOAP request error

If I had to guess this is the most rebust plugin for this particular job. I'll look through and see if there is anything to test with. I will create a new account on the ESXi host and test to see if that makes a difference. UPDATE: A new account with full credentials did not work either. Still seein...

Re: VMware ESXi SOAP request error

Hi, I was hoping to see a long pause or wait that we could have pointed our efforts toward. Looking at the ESXi logs here is what I notice: vmksummary.log: Nothing to note. vmkwarning.log: Nothing to note. hostd.log: I see constant messages: Accepted password for user root @ NagiosIP User root @ Nag...

Re: VMware ESXi SOAP request error

Hi, I ran the command for 30 minutes, 3 times. Real, and User never went above 0m0.8XXs. Sys never went above 0m0.05X. I was tailing the nagios.log also and when the SOAP error hit I did not notice any uptick from any of the 3 outputs. Error Message: SERVICE ALERT: hostname ; service_being_monitored...

Correct. I get the usual messages when an actual event happens but every few minutes (10-30 min) I get the SOAP request protocol error. This causes a critical alert to show up on the dashboard for a minute then it goes away.

Get this file and put it the /tmp folder on the nagios server. http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/G/GA/GAAS/libwww-perl-5.837.tar.gz Run the following as root in the Nagios server to downgrade that module. cd /tmp...

Re: VMware ESXi SOAP request error

UPDATE: I ran the following command as root and nagios to see if it was some type of permission issue. As root: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_vmware_api.pl -H "ipofesxihost" -f "/usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/components/vmware/esxiauthinfo.txt" -l "CPU" -v CHECK_VMWARE_API.P...

Hi, I am in an offline environment and have Nagios Xi setup. We are trying to get Nagios to monitor ESXi. When installing the vmware plugin it appears to work just fine, everything is monitoring. However we see critical alerts coming and going. Tailing the nagios.log we see a lot of "CHECK_VMWA...
