threshold value in vmware esx3 plugin

[nagarjuna]

Dear Team,


We have configured vmware host and we are fine with it. but we need to change the warning and critical value as per our requirement.

Please suggest us.

These values would be changed like any other by going to Configure -> Core Config Manager -> Hosts, and making the appropriate changes for that host.

Hi

COMMAND: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_esx3.pl -H "152.xx.xxx.xxx" -f "/usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/components/vmware/152_63_2_220_auth.txt" -l "MEM"
OUTPUT: ESX3 OK - mem usage=70989.91 MB (36.11%), overhead=857.33 MB, swapped=0.00 MB | mem_usagemb=70989.91MB;; mem_usage=36.11%;; mem_overhead=857.33MB;; mem_swap=0.00MB;;

I Added warning and crictical values also

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_esx3.pl -H "152.xxx.xx.xxx" -f "/usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/components/vmware/152_63_2_220_auth.txt" -l "MEM" -w 30 -c 50
ESX3 OK - mem usage=70987.00 MB (36.11%), overhead=857.60 MB, swapped=0.00 MB | mem_usagemb=70987.00MB;30;50 mem_usage=36.11%;30;50 mem_overhead=857.60MB;30;50 mem_swap=0.00MB;30;50

Can you try this?:

Code: Select all

-w 30% -c 50%

Instead of just standard ints? you may also have to specify the value in MB, I've been trying to track this down, there were threshold issues noted back in 2012, did you not set this check up with thresholds in the XI wizard? Did they not come through?:

I believe you need to specify one type (by using a sub-command):

* mem - shows mem info
+ usage - mem usage in percentage
+ usagemb - mem usage in MB
+ swap - swap mem usage in MB
+ overhead - additional mem used by VM Server in MB
+ overall - overall mem used by VM Server in MB
^ all mem info

You can try:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_esx3.pl -H "152.xxx.xx.xxx" -f "/usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/components/vmware/152_63_2_220_auth.txt" -l "MEM" -s usage -w 30 -c 50
