Hi,

could you please assist me on the above queries.

Thanks in advance.

in my environment we have vcenter server, so i have added that vcenter server ip to vMA credential repository. so now if i assign any service definition it will check the complete vcenter server ? for ex: i want to monitor memory usage and ping, hdd usage for particular esxi, so i think here no need to add the esxi in to that vMA credential repository or its required ?

You are correct, you do not need to add the ESXi hosts credentials to the repository as the vCenter server will handle all of this for you, it's much less complicated.

In host and service definition i have to define all esxi or only the vcenter server details ?

All of your commands will have --server vcenter_server_ip_or_fqdn as this is the server that handles the connection from the vMA and grants you access to all the objects. If you wanted to check a host you would also need to use the --host esxi_host_object_name because you are targeting a host. If you wanted to check a guest you would also need to use the --guest guest_object_name because you are targeting a guest.

The manual has full examples.

For any further questions can you please start a new thread with a new topic.
