VMware host monitor - How to set critical & warning value?

Post by ShlomiUni »

Hi, I just started to monitor my ESXi hosts and I don't know where to insert the value for critical and warning notifications.
I tried to add -w 80 -c 90 but it doesn't change anything

Good morning, apologies for the delay. We don't work on the weekends.

In order for the warning and critical values to work, you'll also have to specify a subcommand. All of this will be put in ARG3.

-s usage -w 80 -c 90

You can get a list of commands and subcommands by running the check_vmware_api.pl plugin at the command line, like so.

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_vmware_api.pl --help
