VMware Snapshot Monitoring

[lcccollege]

We had been using the VMware plugin by Box293 to monitor VMware Snapshots. A few years this seemed to stop working after a Nagios update.

It seems like much of the functionality from the Box293 plug was added to the VMware Configuration Wizard, but snapshot monitoring was not. Is there any way to monitor for a snapshot which is over 24 hours old in Nagios XI 8.5.3?

Thanks,
Bob

Hi

Take a look at this:

Code: Select all

It ran fine for me.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply.

It looks like this script requires vma. Unfortunately, this was discontinued/deprecated at version 6.5. We're currently running a 7.0 environment.

Are you running this successfully in a 7.0 environment?

Thanks,
Bob
