Nagios - Monitoring ESX servers

Post by stauftm »

Hi all, I am new to Nagios and we are looking to purchasing this as our network monitoring system. I am monitoring about 30 servers but I'm having issues monitoring ESXi hosts

When I attempt to run the VmWare ESX wizard it tells me I need to follow some directions before I can run this wizard, below is the link.

https://library.nagios.com/library/prod ... nagios-xi/

I follow the pdf instructions but I'm getting an error at the './vmware-install.pl EULA_AGREED=yes --default' command. Below is my error:


Start of Command
#####################################################################################
[root@klnnagios vmware-vsphere-cli-distrib]# ./vmware-install.pl EULA_AGREED=yes --default
Creating a new vSphere CLI installer database using the tar4 format.

Below mentioned modules with their version needed to be installed,

Do you want to continue? (yes/no)

The answer "" is invalid. It must be one of "y" or "n".

Invalid default answer!
Execution aborted.

I've tried numerous troubleshooting ideas but no luck. I'm hoping someone can help me out!

Thanks,
Todd

Hello, @stauftm. We've had a few issues with the latest vSphere SDK 6.7. Please download the version 6.5 instead.
