Guest host VM list not showing up in VM monitoring wizzard

Hi all,

Running into the following problem, when running through the VMware monitoring wizard and I'm running into the following situation:

When selecting the option to monitor a Guest VM on the VM host and proceeding to step 3. The Guest Selection tab isn't populating, if I select monitoring VM host I have no issues and the checks that I select are created.

We're currently running R2.5 (manual yum install) on a CentOS 6 64bit VM and have updated all perl packages needed for this plugin. We have another host running nagios xi R1.4 on CentOS 6 64bit and the plugin is working as expected. My suspicion is that version R2.5 isn't compatible with the monitoring wizard and I was wondering if anyone else was running into this issue.

Side Note: We do have a support contract with Nagios but for some reason my user isn't associated with the customer number. If someone could also help me out with that as well, I would appreciate it.

Below is a screenshot of what I'm seeing.

Can you run these commands and post the output:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/configwizards/vmware/scripts
./getguests.pl -H <ip address> -u <username> -p <password>
Also I'll get you to tell me the version of the Config Wizard, can you please do the following:

Click the Admin menu
System Extensions > Manage Config Wizards
Find the VMware config wizard
What version is this config wizard?
Does Check For Updates show a newer version available?

Actually there was a bug with the previous version of the vmware wizard

Upload the new attached Wizard through Admin -> Manage Config Wizards

After upgrading to 1.6.3 I'm still seeing the same error. Looking into the log files I'm seeing this:

[Tue Feb 10 13:10:39 2015] [error] [client 10.75.13.45] PHP Notice: Undefined variable: stdout in /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/configwizards/vmware/vmware.inc.php on line 468, referer: http://nagios01.c01.noc.mlb.adm1.util.m ... wizard.php

Here is the uname -a of the VM I'm running nagios xi on:
Linux nagios01 2.6.32-358.2.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Mar 13 00:26:49 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

When running the ./getguests.pl I get the following output:
Server version unavailable at 'https://10.4.100.67:443/sdk/vimService.wsdl' at /usr/share/perl5/VMware/VICommon.pm line 551


Thanks again for your help.

Can you try the getguests command using an administrator account? I am just wanting to rule out what is going on.

Is 10.4.100.67 a vCenter server or ESX(i) box?

I was running the getguests command as the root user and 10.4.100.67 is a VM client host on our Vcenter.

So updated the VM and was able to add VM hosts with in the Vcenter however these checks seem to be failing:
