Guest host VM list not showing up in VM monitoring wizzard

[Box293]

Those errors don't seem related to your problem.

Can you try running one of the checks at the CLI?

If you don't know how to do this then give us this information:

Open Core Configuration Manager
Monitoring > Services
Find the services for mpipe01
Click the Disk icon for one of them
Post that output here in a code block.

Running as root, I get the following:

[[email protected] libexec]$ ./check_esx3.pl -H 10.60.97.25 -f /usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/components/vmware/vcenter_mlbam_net_auth.txt -N jetty01.c01.jmweb.sony.med3.prod -l NET
ESX3 CRITICAL - Error connecting to server at 'https://10.60.97.25/sdk/webService': Perhaps host is not a vCenter or ESX server

The VM it's attempting to connect to is running Version 5.5.0 Build 1945276.

By VM I meant Vcenter version. Was pre coffee.

What is the correct IP of the vCenter server - 10.4.100.67 or 10.60.97.25? Are the credentials stored in the "/usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/components/vmware/vcenter_mlbam_net_auth.txt" correct? Can you actually log in with these credentials into the vCenter?

[kbackman]

Yes the user is the same one I've been using on older versions that worked.

RIght now I'm getting these errors for CPU usage, Input/Output Memory and Networking checks. Datastore, Services and VM status checks are working.

Was working with the wrong IP, here is the check using the correct Vcenter IP:

[[email protected] libexec]$ ./check_esx3.pl -H 10.5.35.33 -f /usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/components/vmware/vcenterha_mlbam_net_auth.txt -l CPU
ESX3 CRITICAL - HOST CPU Unknown error

./check_esx3.pl -H 10.5.35.33 -f /usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/components/vmware/vcenterha_mlbam_net_auth.txt -l VMFS
ESX3 OK - storages : datastore1=130289.00 MB (99.02%), ds1=1790655.00 MB (93.90%), ds2=8896199.00 MB (93.29%) | datastore1=130289.00MB;; ds1=1790655.00MB;; ds2=8896199.00MB;;

Can you increase the verbosity and show us the output?

Code: Select all

./check_esx3.pl -H 10.5.35.33 -f /usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/components/vmware/vcenterha_mlbam_net_auth.txt -l CPU -vvv

[kbackman]

Seems to output the same error:

[[email protected] libexec]$ ./check_esx3.pl -H 10.5.35.33 -f /usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/components/vmware/vcenterha_mlbam_net_auth.txt -l CPU -vvv
[extra-opts] check_esx3.pl -H 10.5.35.33 -f /usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/components/vmware/vcenterha_mlbam_net_auth.txt -l CPU -vvv

I found a newer version of the check_esx3.pl check from the developer. I did a quick test and is seems to work without needing to do any other upgrades.
Just make a backup of the old script in case it doesn't work for you.

Here is the link to it.

[kbackman]

Awesome, thanks. I'll test it and report back with the results.

[kbackman]

Looks like that did the trick, thanks for all your help.
