box293 Total number of concurrent checks exceeds 15

Post by dlukinski »

Hi

We are getting "Total number of concurrent checks exceeds 15", aborting! errors and tried to edit commands as follows:

$USER1$/check_by_ssh -E 1 -t 90 -l vi-admin -H $ARG1$ -C "~/box293_check_vmware.pl --timeout 90 --concurrent_checks 20 --server $ARG2$ --check Guest_CPU_Info --guest \"$ARG3$\" --reporting_si \"$ARG4$\" \"$ARG5$\" \"$ARG6$\" \"$ARG7$\" \"$ARG8$\""

But keep getting the same messages "Total number of concurrent checks exceeds 15, aborting!" errors for the commands already edited.

What went wrong?

Thank you

The Arguments Config File on the vMA server is needs to have the concurrent checks option increased which will allow more checks to run at the same time.
You would have to login to the vMA server and edit the .visdkrc file which is located in the vi-admin home directory /home/vi-admin.

Change os add the following option to the file to increase the number of concurrent checks to 45.

Code: Select all

VI_CONCURRENT_CHECKS=45
See page 30 of the manual.

Code: Select all

Your command does have the --concurrent_checks option but it could be an older version of the plugin that is not honoring the option.

Cannot find that file under /home/vi-admin:

If the file is not there, you can create it and add the option.
