Hi Team,

we have recently upgrade the Esxi version 5.x to 6.5 for some of the hosts.

As we upgraded the vmware esxi check plugin to the latest version https://github.com/op5/check_vmware_api

we are facing the issue while monitor the Esxi runtime health check getting the below alerts.

please help to solve the health issues or is there any possibility to ignore the specific health issues via command line?

Try running the following command:

Code: Select all

./check_vmware_api.pl -H <IP Address> -u nagiosuser -p <password> -l runtime -s health -o blacklistregexpflag -x UNKNOWN.*

to see if this is going to solve your issue.

Is there any argument that we have to add to ignore the specific health issues?

If this doesn't work, then I am not sure.

This is 3rd party plugin that is NOT developed/maintained by Nagios. I would recommend that you contact the plugin's owner in order to find out if these options even work.

Note: If check_vmware_api.pl is based on check_esx3.pl, it's possible this is not going to work as it is NOT working in check_esx3.pl.

For example, running the command below works:

Code: Select all

./check_esx3.pl -H xxxxxx.corp -f /tmp/pass -l runtime -s health -x "item1,item2,item3"

however, these ones don't work:

Code: Select all

./check_esx3.pl -H xxxxxx.corp -f /tmp/pass -l runtime -s health -x "item*" -o blacklistregexpflag

or

Code: Select all

./check_esx3.pl -H xxxxxx.corp -f /tmp/pass -l runtime -s health -o blacklistregexpflag -x "item*"
