I am planning to monitor the VMWare using the Nagios Core Plugin "check_vmware_api"
But I don't know the step to configure the plugin.
Can someone tell me the steps to be performed on the nagios Server and VMWare host which i need to monitor?
Any link where it is already mentioned will be great.

Re: Nagios Core Plugin for Monitoring the VMWare
Hey @amitgupta19,
If you haven't downloaded the plugin yet the place would be in the link below, the GitHub also has installation instructions.
https://github.com/op5/check_vmware_api
You would also need to download the Perl SDK as listed in the GibHub.
Here is another topic that uses the check_vmware_api plugin.pl
https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewto ... 35&t=41915
Since you are using Core, you would need to define a new host cfg for VMWare that you want to monitor, and then define services that you want to check.
Along with defining the check_vmware_api.pl in the commands.cfg located in the path below.
