Nagios Support Forum

Hi
I'm pretty new to Nagios and had a couple of questions.
After downloading the ovf and setting everything up I tried to add the esxi host to monitor and it failed verification. I have snmp and ssh enabled on both the localhost (nagios) and also the esxi server. Where are the error logs? or what do I need to set up prior to this? I set the permissions and ran those scripts from documentation and also installed sdk etc.
What does nagios use to communicate with the server? Is it an agent that I need to install or what?

If anyone has a good document or knows of the issue I'm having I would really appreciate some help.

Thanks

You can find the steps to get this running in:

  Administrator Guide
  Under Monitoring Configuration click Monitoring VMware
  This will give you a link to "Monitoring VMware with Nagios XI" which will guide you through the steps.
