Monitoring Guest VM

[povachon]

I have problem monitoring guest VM. When i use the wizard, everythig work fine, i use the Vcenter adress and i can select the guest VM i want to monitor but at the end the process only add the vcenter host and not a simple guess vm.

Somebody can help me with that ?

What version of Nagios XI are you running? I am going to try to reproduce this, another alternative would be Box293's plugin here:

Try following the steps, outlined in this document:

http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... ios_XI.pdf

You should be able to get this running and monitor guest VMs on VMware ESX, ESXi, vSphere, and vCenter Server.

Do you see the guest VMs, when you click on the "Guest Selection" tab in Step 3 of the VMware Monitoring Wizard?

[povachon]

Yes as i wrote in my first post !

[lmiltchev]

Try running the script from the command line:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/configwizards/vmware/scripts
./getguests.pl -H <ip address> -u <username> -p <password>

Can you see a list of VMs?

I think that you are not selecting any metrics on the Monitored Metrics tab.

Even though you have guests selected on the Guest Selection tab, they will not be monitored unless you select metrics (like CPU Usage, Memory etc).

So if you select CPU Usage, then every guest that is selected on the Guest Selection tab will have a service created called "Guest Name CPU Usage".
