Vmware Monitoring Wizard - Configuration verification fail

Post by nealg »

When running the Vmware Monitoring Wizard to add a guest VM I recieve the follwing error:

!Configuration verfication failed

As I go through the steps I do see all of the my Guest VM's and I am given the option to select what guest services I want to monitor but when I go to submit the configuraion we get this error.

Here are my config details:

Nagios Server: CentOS 32 bit on VM image provided by nagios.com version 2011R1.6 July 25, 2011

ESX Server: ESX 4.1 64

There is currently a bug in that wizard that does not escape certain characters. I'm working on a fix for it, but for now you'll need to go into the Core Config Manager, go to "Services" on the side menu tab and edit the Service names and edit out the special characters ( single quotes, double quotes, slashes). Then apply the config. If it doesn't apply, there may be another ESX server service.
