vCenter Monitong with vmware wizard

[benningtonr]

I did not get this prompt, why would that be?

In which directory do you want to install the executable files?
[/usr/bin]

[benningtonr]

do we point this ip address at a physical host, or the vcenter itself?

benningtonr,

Can you explain which directions you followed?

vcenter

[benningtonr]

that is what i am pointed to and all my returns a NULL.
I am using the FQDN and it is resolvable.
I installed the sdk and perl items that were in the directions.

First can you verify that a file exists here

Code: Select all

ls -l /usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/components/vmware/

Can you open the file and verify that the correct username nad password is in the file and on 2 separate lines.

If so, Can you use that file and run the following command

Code: Select all

cd /usr/local/nagios/libexec
./check_esx3.pl -D <hostname> -f /usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/components/vmware/<host>_auth.txt -l runtime

[benningtonr]

Stupid question here, is the username for vmware access or nagios access?
What exactly is the username being used for so I can give it the correct one.
Thanks

You need to enter the username and the password for accessing the vmware vCenter. You should have these in the "/usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/components/vmware/<host>_auth.txt" file. If you have something else, the check will fail.

Ok, i have the correct username in there, i think, domain\username, we use AD authentication.

getting this error:
