VMware Configuration Wizard - Ping Discovered VMs

[echotester12]

When running through the VMware Configuration Wizard and you select the Monitor a guest VM on the VMWare host option, is there a way to have the imported VMs also be checked for up/down via the check_ping?

Thanks

Hi @echotester12,

I don't see any option for ping on the wizard.

Also nothing as an option for the plugin. Closest thing I see is "runtime"

Code: Select all

* cpu - shows cpu info
+ usage - CPU usage in percentage
+ usagemhz - CPU usage in MHz
^ all cpu info

* mem - shows mem info
+ usage - mem usage in percentage
+ usagemb - mem usage in MB
+ swap - swap mem usage in MB
+ overhead - additional mem used by VM Server in MB
+ overall - overall mem used by VM Server in MB
^ all mem info

* net - shows net info
+ usage - overall network usage in KBps(Kilobytes per Second)
+ receive - receive in KBps(Kilobytes per Second)
+ send - send in KBps(Kilobytes per Second)
^ all net info

* io - shows disk io info
+ read - read latency in ms
+ write - write latency in ms
^ all disk io info

* runtime - shows runtime info
+ status - overall host status (gray/green/red/yellow)
+ issues - all issues for the host
^ all runtime info

VM specific :
* cpu - shows cpu info
+ wait - CPU wait in ms
* mem - shows mem info
+ swapin - swapin mem usage in MB
+ swapout - swapout mem usage in MB
+ active - active mem usage in MB
* io - shows disk I/O info
+ usage - overall disk usage in MB/s
* runtime - shows runtime info
+ con - connection state
+ cpu - allocated CPU in MHz
+ mem - allocated mem in MB
+ state - virtual machine state (UP, DOWN, SUSPENDED)
+ consoleconnections - console connections to VM
+ guest - guest OS status, needs VMware Tools
+ tools - VMWare Tools status
Host specific :
* net - shows net info
+ nic - makes sure all active NICs are plugged in
* io - shows disk io info
+ aborted - aborted commands count
+ resets - bus resets count
+ kernel - kernel latency in ms
+ device - device latency in ms
+ queue - queue latency in ms
* vmfs - shows Datastore info
+ (name) - info for datastore with name (name)
^ all datastore info
* runtime - shows runtime info
+ con - connection state
+ health - checks cpu/storage/memory/sensor status
+ maintenance - shows whether host is in maintenance mode
+ list(vm) - list of VMWare machines and their statuses
* service - shows Host service info
+ (names) - check the state of one or several services specified by (names), syntax for (names):,,...,
^ show all services
DC specific :
* io - shows disk io info
+ aborted - aborted commands count
+ resets - bus resets count
+ kernel - kernel latency in ms
+ device - device latency in ms
+ queue - queue latency in ms
* vmfs - shows Datastore info
+ (name) - info for datastore with name (name)
^ all datastore info
* runtime - shows runtime info
+ list(vm) - list of VMWare machines and their statuses
+ listhost - list of VMWare esx host servers and their statuses
* recommendations - shows recommendations for cluster
