I don't have that particular version of the plugin at the moment. Could you run it with your warning and critical flags, as well as while running as the nagios user?

Code: Select all

./check_vmware_api.pl -H 192.168.1.171 -u root -p XXXXX -l cpu -s usage -w 80 -c 90
su nagios -s /bin/bash
./check_vmware_api.pl -H 192.168.1.171 -u root -p XXXXX -l cpu
./check_vmware_api.pl -H 192.168.1.171 -u root -p XXXXX -l cpu -s usage -w 80 -c 90
exit

[lee62817]

./check_vmware_api.pl -H 192.168.1.171 -u root -p XXXXX -l cpu -s usage -w 80 -c 90
CHECK_VMWARE_API.PL OK - cpu usage=1.66 % | cpu_usage=1.66%;80;90


./check_vmware_api.pl -H 192.168.1.171 -u nagios -p XXXXX -l cpu -s usage -w 80 -c 90
CHECK_VMWARE_API.PL OK - cpu usage=2.10 % | cpu_usage=2.10%;80;90

i can use this command to check

It seems that when you run the command from the CLI, you run it with the correct flag ("-l"), but in your command, you use "-I" instead... It looks the same but it is not.

define command{
command_name check_vmware_api_host_cpu_usage
command_line $USER1$/check_vmware_api.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -u $USER11$ -p $USER12$ -I cpu -s usage -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$
}

sorry

my command is correct -l

-I was just keyin error on this post

Can you force a check and then check your nagios.log for the relevant line for the check and post the output here?

Code: Select all

tail -50 /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log | grep "192.168.1.171"

[Box293]

I can see your test commands at the cli are as the user root.

When Nagios executes the commands it does this as the user nagios.

Whenever testing from the cli you should:

Code: Select all

su nagios -s /bin/bash

Then test your commands. When finished type exit.

Seeing as we're talking about VMware monitoring, I suggest you check out box293_check_vmware which can be downloaded here:
