Sorry, my mistake, I meant the read-only account that was setup on the VCenter server and not the vi-admin account. Can you try that one and see if you can see the Datastores?

Please could you give me the command to check the datastores from VMA

Yes using the account we can login to vcenter and view the datastores. But not from this plugin. We can retrieve host information, but not datastores. PFA

If you want to run the command from the VMA server, login to it using the vi-admin account and run the following. I have added the --debug option for the command so we can view the verbose output and possibly get the errors on why it is not working.
Please post the output. When the debug option is used, is will put that output in the file below in the VMA server so you could post that if you like.

Hi, we get the data for datastore with this command on vi-admin
PFA. But not on webconsole

The debug appears to be correct.

Looking at your image, it appears things line up properly, but just to make sure - are you logging into the server you're using check_by_ssh with as 'vi-admin' too? Can you show us the output of running it through check_by_ssh as well from the CLI?

Please find the below output
*************************************
[[email protected] ~]$ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_by_ssh -E –t 30 1 -l vi-admin -H xx.xx.xx.xx -C "~/box293_check_vmware.pl --server xx.xx.xx.xx --check vCenter_Name_Version"


OK: VMware vCenter Server 5.5.0 build-3252642

Can you come online on webex and check this for me

Regards,
Beena
