Nagios Support Forum

Currently i am running the following command

check_esx3.pl -H xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -u xxxxxxxxx -p xxxxxxxx -t 60 -l cpu -s usage -w 75 -c 80

Can you please modify the command which i should try now?

Run this command to see if it shows any output (replacing xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with the IP you are using)

[amgupta@yyyyyyy01 libexec]$ sudo curl -vvv "https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:443/sdk/vimService.wsdl"
[sudo] password for amgupta:
* About to connect() to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port 443 (#0)
* Trying xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx...
* Connection timed out
* Failed connect to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:443; Connection timed out
* Closing connection 0
curl: (7) Failed connect to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:443; Connection timed out

So you are getting a connection timeout.

Either your Nagios server cannot route to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx or it is not listening at the vmware API endpoint

Any Idea what can be done to correct this Problem

I would first check routing, can you ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx from your Nagios server?

Do you have a firewall between them?

Yes i am able to ping the ESX Host.

I don't think that there is firewall in between them. Because all the ESX Hosts located in the same network.

I have problem with only one.

The only other thing I can think of is "vSphere API" isn't a licensed feature for this ESX server.

Beyond that, you are going to have to reach out to vmware about why it is not allowing access to the API

It has been resolved.
Thanks for your support.
It was due to wrong IP of the Device i was using.
