I would assume read only permissions would work, since Nagios doesn't actually make changes to ESXi.
As of May 25th, 2018, all communications with Nagios Enterprises and its employees are covered under our new Privacy Policy.

You are correct, i reazlied i had created the user on vCenter and not each individual ESXI host. Once i created on each host all is working as expected with a read only account.
