ESX host list from a specified DC

[anil4u_04]

HI All,

I am facing challenges to get the esx hosts list from the specified DC,i can get the VM's list from the specified esx hosts, but i am struggling to get it from the linux servers.

i am using the script check_esx3-0-5 (https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... st/details) to get the all the VM's list from the esx host, but i am getting below error while i am using the same script.

Error : Server version unavailable at 'https://<DC>:443/sdk/vimService.wsdl' at /usr/share/perl5/VMware/VICommon.pm line 726

Command : ./check_esx3-0-5 -D <DC name> -H <vcenter hostname> -u <username> -p <password> -l runtime -s listhost

not sure whether i am using the command in wrong way, if yes can someone help in this regards,

appreciate your help, and thanks in advance.

Can you run your check again from the command line with "increased verbosity" (pass "-v", "-vv" or "-vvv"; whatever the plugin supports)?

BTW, I have seen similar issues resolved by adding the following line to the top of the plugin:

Code: Select all

$ENV{PERL_LWP_SSL_VERIFY_HOSTNAME} = 0;

Thanks lmiltchev, appreciate your prompt response ,

i used -v , nothing more it is giving, and also i add the line $ENV{PERL_LWP_SSL_VERIFY_HOSTNAME} = 0; at the begging of the file (after !#/usr/bin/perl) , but still getting the same error.

Thanks again for your response.

I saw another person with this problem solve it by installing this package: perl-LWP-Protocol-https in addition to adding the $ENV{PERL_LWP_SSL_VERIFY_HOSTNAME} = 0; as ludmil suggested.

Hi lgroschen,

Thanks for your response , but no luck, still getting the same error.

I have installed perl-LWP-Protocol-https , do i need it add line "use LWP::Protocol:https " something like this.


Thanks in advance.

Yes, try adding what @lmiltchev mentioned at the top of the plugin.

Are you testing from the command line or after restarting nagios and through the interface? I'm wondering if it's a permissions/path issue for the nagios user.

Thank you

I am testing from the command line. That script works for all options for the singe esx servers, but when i am giving DC options it is giving the below error.

root@<servername>:~# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_esx3-0-5 -D <DC> -H <vcenter hostname> -u <username> -p <password> -l runtime -s listhost
ESX CHECK CRITICAL - Server version unavailable at 'https://<DC>:443/sdk/vimService.wsdl' at /usr/share/perl5/VMware/VICommon.pm line 726.

It looks like the command line options is either -H or -D but not both. Try just using the -D option.
Try that and let us know if it works.
