check_esxi_hardware.py and Centos 7

[tentaclefi]

Hi,

We're migrating our Nagios installation from RHEL6 to Centos7.

Everything else seems to be working fine but I can't get ESXi hardware monitoring to work.

From command line everything works on RHEL6:

On Centos7 output says UNKNOWN

* Python is 2.6 on RHEL6 and 2.7 on Centos7.
* PyWBEM is 0.7 on both servers, though there is minor version change
* check_esxi_hardware.py is latest version on both servers (http://www.claudiokuenzler.com/nagios-p ... rdware.php)
* Nagios version on both servers Nagios XI 2014R2.6

------------

There has been problems with PyWBEM:

Q: After an update of the pywbem package the plugin doesnt work anymore. The following output is shown in verbose mode:

Unknown CIM Error: (0, 'SSL error: certificate verify failed')

A: This was seen in SLES 11 SP3 after an update of the package python-pywbem from 0.7-6.13 to 0.7-6.22. After reverting to the older version, the plugin worked again.

Update September 9th 2014: This error will be fixed in a future release of check_esxi_hardware.py, but it depends on the release of the new pywbem upstream version.
See https://github.com/Napsty/check_esxi_hardware/issues/7.

I've tried manually installing PyWBEM 0.7 and 0.8 from Sourceforge, no effect.

Any ideas how to get this script working?

Any other suggestions are welcome too. Anything goes, we just have to get this running somehow.

Verbose output looks like this:

[root@nagios]# ./check_esxi_hardware.py -H IP -U root -P password -V hp -v
