Monitor a guest VM on a VMWare host

[mwasc]

Yes, the user is able to read the guests. I've added an another user, but I get the same screen.

One thing I noticed - these scripts are owned by nagios:root:

ls -la /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/configwizards/vmware/scripts/
total 28
drwxr-xr-x 2 nagios root 4096 Jan 21 20:11 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 nagios root 4096 Jan 21 20:11 ..
-rwxr-xr-x 1 nagios root 5187 Jan 21 20:11 getguests.pl
-rwxr-xr-x 1 nagios root 5187 Jan 21 20:11 growguest.pl
-rwxr-xr-x 1 nagios root 2033 Jan 21 20:11 NagiosXI-VMWare.sh

while on all of my test boxes the permissions are nagios:nagios. You can try changing the permissions and see if this is going to help.

Can you run the following check from the CLI, and show us the output? (hide the sensitive info)

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_esx3.pl -H "<ip address>" -f "/usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/components/vmware/<hostname>.txt" -N "<VM name>" -l "CPU"

I had changed the permissions, but it doesnt' help.

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_esx3.pl -H "<ip address>" -f "/usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/components/vmware/<hostname>.txt" -N "<VM name>" -l "CPU"

And I'll get this message:

Code: Select all

Unable to open auth file "/usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/components/vmware/<hostname>.txt"

I've followed the path and there is no "vmware" Directory.

We found a bug in the latest vmware wizard. Download the patched wizard below:

vmware.zip

Don't unzip it - just install it by going to: Admin->Manage Config Wizards->Btowse->vmware.zip->Upload Wizard

Next, rerun the vmware wizard and see if the issue has been resolved. Thanks!

I have exact same problem

I can add ESXi 5.0 -5.5 hosts no problem on my XI server. When I add VM guests using the wizard (the new 1 posted), it is blank.
Running as nagios user ./getguests.pl -H [ipaddress] -u root -p [passwd] is successful & lists all my guest VMs from that ESX host
The user account & password used has access to all client VMs
