VmWare Monitoring

Post by sikainfo »

Hi there,
I'm testing the new released Nagios XI 2014R1.0 on a newly installed RedHat 2.6 Server.

The VMWare Plugin installed with the latest VMware CLI produces following error:

Code: Select all

COMMAND: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_esx3.pl -H "widems213.ch.sika.com" -f "/usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/components/vmware/widems213_ch_sika_com_auth.txt" -l "CPU"
OUTPUT: ESX3 CRITICAL - SOAP request error - possibly a protocol issue: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Hi,
I could solve the issue, with downgrade the two perl packages to the Version:

libwww-perl-6.03
Net-HTTP-6.03

thanks for the Tip.
