Credentials would be correct, existing certficate used (already works with older vMA 5.5 we are replacing)

Please help

Can you run the following commands on the Nagios server and post the output?

Code: Select all

su nagios
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_by_ssh -E 1 -l vi-admin -H xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -C "~/box293_check_vmware.pl --server yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy --check vCenter_Name_Version"
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_by_ssh -E 1 -l vi-admin -H xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -C "~/box293_check_vmware.pl --server yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy --check Host_OS_Name_Version"

Replace xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with the IP address of the vMA server.
Replace yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy with the IP address of the vCenter server.
They should return the version of your VMWare systems.

Could you try increasing the timeout to -t 30

Code: Select all

su nagios
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_by_ssh -t 30 -E 1 -l vi-admin -H xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -C "~/box293_check_vmware.pl --server yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy --check vCenter_Name_Version"
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_by_ssh -t 30 -E 1 -l vi-admin -H xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -C "~/box293_check_vmware.pl --server yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy --check Host_OS_Name_Version"

See if that displays an output for the commands.

Do you have ssh keys set up for root? You would need to set up the ssh keys for nagios. It shouldn't be prompting you for a password.

You can re-setup the account by following this doc.
https://exchange.nagios.org/components/ ... 0&cf_id=29

Once you have set up the keys for Nagios. Re-run the commands, but this time set the timeout to 60 seconds -t 60

Code: Select all

su nagios
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_by_ssh -t 60 -E 1 -l vi-admin -H xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -C "~/box293_check_vmware.pl --server yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy --check vCenter_Name_Version"
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_by_ssh -t 60 -E 1 -l vi-admin -H xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -C "~/box293_check_vmware.pl --server yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy --check Host_OS_Name_Version"

I have configured keys, but the problem remains. Could we have a session to look into it?

I see you have also opened an email ticket for this, so we will be locking this thread and continuing in the email ticket.
