There are new error messages with the vcenter host. Could you please assist?:

UNKNOWN: Login to VirtualCentre server failed: Server version unavailable at 'https://vc540001a-esi5.admin.bcps.k12.m ... rvice.wsdl' at /usr/share/perl5/VMware/VICommon.pm line 551.

Did the host name change or were any firewall rules pushed to the vcenter server? Can you access that specific address from a browser?

No to host name/firewall changes? Or no to being able to access the address? No to both?

No there hasn't been a change to the hostname or the firewall. Yes I can access the web address.

Open the "check_esx3.pl" plugin in a text editor, and add the following line in the beginning of the script (right above the "use strict;" line).

Code: Select all

$ENV{'PERL_LWP_SSL_VERIFY_HOSTNAME'} = 0;
Save and exit. Let us know if this helped.

Do you know why it only shows one cpu?

What type of check are you running? Can you post the full check command?

I am not running any checks. When you remoted in, the Nagios server was only seeing 1 cpu, but I created the OVF template with 4 CPUs.

Sounds like a vmware issue. You do need to reboot the vm for those types of hardware changes to take effect. Do the vm properties show 4 provisioned cpus?
