Hi Team,

Still the same error.

Code: Select all


/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_esx3.pl -H xx.xx.xx.xx -f "/usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/components/vmware/xx.xx.xx.xx_auth.txt" -l "CPU"
ESX3 CRITICAL - HOST CPU Unknown error
And using this plugin, will be able to monitor ESX servers???

Do any of the other checks work? For example:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_esx3.pl -H xx.xx.xx.xx -f "/usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/components/vmware/xx.xx.xx.xx_auth.txt" -l "MEM"
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_esx3.pl -H xx.xx.xx.xx -f "/usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/components/vmware/xx.xx.xx.xx_auth.txt" -l "NET"
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_esx3.pl -H xx.xx.xx.xx -f "/usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/components/vmware/xx.xx.xx.xx_auth.txt" -l "RUNTIME"
Try increasing the verbosity and post the output:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_esx3.pl -H xx.xx.xx.xx -f "/usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/components/vmware/xx.xx.xx.xx_auth.txt" -l "CPU" -vvv

Yes, but we need to find out first why it is failing for you.

Try the following - open the "/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_esx3.pl" plugin in a text editor and add the following line on the top of the page, right below the initial comments:

Code: Select all

$ENV{PERL_LWP_SSL_VERIFY_HOSTNAME} = 0;
Save and exit. Test your checks again. Let us know if this helped.

What are the permissions of your user, i.e. "Administrator", "VM power user", etc.?

What version of the VMWare Perl SDK did you install?
What version of VMWare are you running for the servers?

Login to the XI server as root, run the following commands to update the perl modules from your first post.

Code: Select all

yum update perl-MIME-Base64
yum update perl-Compress-Zlib
yum update perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib
yum update perl-IO-Compress-Base
yum update perl-IO-Compress-Zlib
yum update perl-version
yum update perl-Socket6
yum update perl-IO-Socket-INET6
cpan install LWP::Protocol::https
Try that out and see if you still have any errors.

Lets try and see if you can connect to the VMWare server using the VMWare Perl SDK tools to see if we can get those to work.

Your path to the tool could be different from ours as we are using the SDK version 5.5 and not 6.
Change to the following directory
/usr/lib/vmware-vcli/apps/general
Run this to test to see if you can connect to the VMWare VCenter server
./connect.pl --url https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/sdk/vimService --username <username> --password <password>

If the above passes, go to this directory.
/usr/lib/vmware-vcli/apps/host
Run this to test to see if you can get the list of hosts connected to the VMWare VCenter server
./hostinfo.pl --url https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/sdk/vimService --username <username> --password <password>

Remember to replace xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with the IP address of your VCenter server and to put in the correct username and password.

Please post any errors
