I got it working now
Found it in two other locations
root@tgcs017:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# ./check_vmware_api.pl -H Myhost-8 -D MTDatacenter
Usage: check_vmware_api.pl -D <data_center> | -H <host_name> [ -C <cluster_name> ] [ -N <vm_name> ]
-u <user> -p <pass> | -f <authfile>
-l <command> [ -s <subcommand> ] [ -T <timeshift> ] [ -i <interval> ]
[ -x <black_list> ] [ -o <additional_options> ]
[ -t <timeout> ] [ -w <warn_range> ] [ -c <crit_range> ]
[ -V ] [ -h ]
Missing argument: command
Anyone have a valid command as an example?

I got a sample but it errors out.
root@tgcs017:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# ./check_vmware_api.pl -H MYHOST-3 -u myroot -p "##########" -l runtime -s status
Undefined subroutine &Nagios::Monitoring::Plugin::plugin_exit called at ./check_vmware_api.pl line 824.
This is line 824 in check_vmware_api.pl
$np->plugin_exit($result, $output);
Any ideas?

Can you upload your plugin on the forum? I would like to test it in house. Thank you!

Make a backup of your original plugin:
Code: Select all
mv check_vmware_api.pl check_vmware_api.pl.backup
Download the plugin below, and place it in the plugins directory.
Test the new plugin to see if it fixes your issue.

Now working..
Thank you.
do you have any sample checks I can set up?
I ran this one
root@tgcs017:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# ./check_vmware_api.pl -H MYHOST-3 -u root -p "###############" -l runtime -s status
CHECK_VMWARE_API.PL OK - overall status=green
I tried this
root@tgcs017:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# ./check_vmware_api.pl -D MY-Datacenter -u root -p "############" -l runtime -s status
CHECK_VMWARE_API.PL CRITICAL - Server version unavailable at '
https://TGCSNET-Datacenter:443/sdk/vimService.wsdl' at /usr/share/perl/5.22/VMware/VICommon.pm line 734.
Thank you

You could try some basic checks as these:
Code: Select all
./check_vmware_api.pl -H MYHOST-3 -u root -p "###############" -l -l "CPU"
./check_vmware_api.pl -H MYHOST-3 -u root -p "###############" -l "VMFS"
./check_vmware_api.pl -H MYHOST-3 -u root -p "###############" -l "IO"
./check_vmware_api.pl -H MYHOST-3 -u root -p "###############" -l "MEM"
./check_vmware_api.pl -H MYHOST-3 -u root -p "###############" -l "NET"
./check_vmware_api.pl -H MYHOST-3 -u root -p "###############" -l "SERVICE"
./check_vmware_api.pl -H MYHOST-3 -u root -p "###############" -l "RUNTIME"
Depending on what you would like to monitor, and what metrics are available, you could "narrow down" the output by using a subcommand ("-s").
Example:
Code: Select all
[root@main-nagios-xi var]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_vmware_api.pl -H <ip address> -u <username> -p <password> -l "NET"
CHECK_VMWARE_API.PL OK - net receive=1165.00 KBps, send=5918.00 KBps, all 2 NICs are connected | net_receive=1165.00;; net_send=5918.00;; OK_NICs=2;; Bad_NICs=0;;
[root@main-nagios-xi var]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_vmware_api.pl -H <ip address> -u <username> -p <password> -l "NET" -s usage
CHECK_VMWARE_API.PL OK - net usage=5005.00 KBps | net_usage=5005.00;;

Thank you that's what I was looking for.
The plugin is timing out
root@tgcs017:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# ./check_vmware_api.pl -H MYHOST-1 -u root -p "#########" -l "CPU"
CHECK_VMWARE_API.PL UNKNOWN - plugin timed out (timeout 30s)
root@tgcs017:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# ./check_vmware_api.pl -H Myhost-1 -u root -p "############" -l runtime -s status
CHECK_VMWARE_API.PL UNKNOWN - plugin timed out (timeout 30s)

Hmm, the default timeout is quite a bit - 30 sec.
-t, --timeout=INTEGER
Seconds before plugin times out (default: 30)
You could try increasing the timeout to see if this is going to resolve the issue:
Code: Select all
./check_vmware_api.pl -H MYHOST-1 -t 50 -u root -p "#########" -l "CPU"
There must be some other issue though... Try increasing the verbosity in order to debug the problem:
Code: Select all
./check_vmware_api.pl -H MYHOST-1 -u root -p "#########" -l "CPU" -vvv

root@tgcs017:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# ./check_vmware_api.pl -H myhost-2 -t 50 -u root -p "#########" -l runtime -s status -vvv
[extra-opts] check_vmware_api.pl -H muhost-2 -t 50 -u root -p ##My95hog -l runtime -s status -vvv
CHECK_VMWARE_API.PL UNKNOWN - plugin timed out (timeout 50s)
root@tgcs017:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# ./check_vmware_api.pl -H myhost-2 -t 120 -u root -p "##########" -l "CPU" -vvv
[extra-opts] check_vmware_api.pl -H myhost-2 -t 120 -u root -p ##My95hog -l CPU -vvv
CHECK_VMWARE_API.PL UNKNOWN - plugin timed out (timeout 120s)
Even upping it to 120 still time outs
