vCloud monitoring through Nagios Core?

swapnil.kadam · Post by **swapnil.kadam** » Tue Jan 20, 2015 4:08 pm

Hello Techies,

I am new to Nagios Core and currently looking to integrate our vCloud with Nagios by leveraging vCloud API if there is one available or is there any alternative to monitor vCloud through Nagios instead of adding individual VMs.

Regards,
Swapnil

I wasn't able to find any plugins that can query that API directly, you would likely need to create a custom plugin which can talk to it following our plugin guidelines:

Alternatively, is this something you could check with SNMP?

Would it be a better idea to check with VMware if they have any vCloud API which can be integrated with Nagios Core?

Can you provide a bit more detail in regards to your last post? Thanks!

I mean as of now I do not have any access to the underlying ESX hosts, we are limited to vCloud but I’m not sure if vCloud provides any APIs that could be leveraged by Nagios or either way.

We don't have vCloud in house to test but many of the VMWare API's work alike.
It does appear vCloud does have an API

Best I can suggest would be to try a vCenter/ESX plugin against your vCloud server.
