change VMware monitoring wizard connection credentials

[nag4csec42]

Hello,

We have cycled our passwords on our ESXi hosts, and now Nagios is complaining about connection issues. I don't want to remove the checks so I can retain the historical information. Is there a way to update the username and password that the Nagios VMware monitoring wizard uses to create the checks in XI?

Thanks in advance!

The VMware wizard stores the username and password in this file.

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/components/vmware/vcenter_nagios_local_auth.txt

Save the changes and reschedule a check in Nagios XI. It may take some time in case it still fails. Wait a few minutes and then check again.

Let us know if you have any more questions or run into any issues.

Perfect, go ahead and close this - thanks!
