Problems with box293_check_vmware vMA connection

[dlukinski]

Hello Nagios Support

This is the 3rd time we get in trouble when following plugin manual to configure vMA host.

Unable to communicate in between XI and vMA after succsefully transferring the certificates and configuring vMA

The vMA host 10.102.74.247 is NOT in the known_hosts file.
Please refer to the box293_check_vmware manual on how to configure this Nagios host to communicate with the vMA host.

UNKNOWN - check_by_ssh: Remote command 'ping -c 4 -w 4 172.19.x.x 2>&1' returned status 255
UNKNOWN - check_by_ssh: Remote command '~/box293_check_vmware.pl --server 172.19.x.x --version' returned status 255

- new vMA is in the known_hosts file, CLI-based commands work
Too many problems with XI and vMA integratios for box293 lately (always worked well 1-2 years ago)

Please help!

Are you trying to add more than one vMA server to the list on the Nagios XI server so it can be used to monitor your VMWare infrastructure with many vMA servers?
Is the vMA host at IP address 10.102.74.247 in the /home/nagios/.ssh/known_hosts file?
If so, copy that entry and put it in the /var/www/.ssh/known_hosts file and see if you can connect to the server using the XI GUI.

This worked, thank you.

Please close the case
