Stats Null for ESXi host

[thennessey]

I looked at some previous posts on this topic, but none that I found matched my problem.

ESXi 5.1
Nagios xi 2012R1.4

All the stats for my esxi host are null / critical. Nagios can connect with it and ping checks work.
I followed the steps in the guide the best I could. http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... ios_XI.pdf

I couldn't find any place in the Monitoring Wizard page to "upload" the vmware wizard. Where can I upload?
There was already a vmware wizard installed so I figured, maybe it comes with this version of Nagios pre installed.
After installing the SDK script, it didn't say "Enjoy - The VMware Team" at the end. It said something like "some of the programs have to be installed manually, or separately." Something like that.

What am I missing here?
Thanks for the help!

Can you show a screenshot of the service's returning Null? We should pin down which checks are returning that, "I have a feeling they will be datastore checks."

And yes the Wizard comes preinstalled with the current versions of Nagios XI.

I think the steps in that tutorial are wrong. I found another guide on some blog and went back through the whole process according to the new steps and it worked. If I come across that guide again I will post the URL here. Thanks

That would be great thank you. Do you remember where they differed at all? Also, what version of ESX and XI are you using?

I have the same problem.
I' have Nagios XI last release and "VMware ESX Server 3 (Dali)"

The monitoring "Datastore usage per VMHost" (all monitoring on the VMWare agent) response "null":

I used this procedure: http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... ios_XI.pdf

I deleted the 3 vmware host and related services and the problem Missed Sync is closed (tested modify other services on the other Host).

The version of VMware wizard is:
Monitor a VMware host or guest VM.
Version: 1.5
