@rohithroki, Could you send me your XI system profile so I could review it? To send us your system profile:
Login to the Nagios XI GUI using a web browser.
Click the "Admin" > "System Profile" Menu
Click the "Download Profile" button
Save the profile.zip file and send it in a private message.
After you send the profile please post something in this thread to bring it back up in the support queue.

@ rohithroki, Can you navigate to /usr/local/nagios/etc/ folder and upload the .cfg file containing the check esx command, another .cfg file containing the service check definition and finally the resource .cfg file. I haven't had much experience with Nconf but I suspect it may have written the command incorrectly, or used a wrong syntax that broke the command.
