I have 1 Suse 11 VCSA appliance which needs to add in Nagios Monitoring.
Can vMA monitors a VCSA appliance using "box293_check_vmware" plugin? If not, then how can VCSA appliance can get monitored?

I do a lot of testing against a vCenter Appliance (v 5.x) however v 6 should be no different. The plugin will work with a vCenter Appliance or vCenter installed on a Windows Server.
Generally speaking the appliance is just a VM, so monitoring it with the plugin should be just like any other VM.
Here's my production vCenter Appliance:

Does this answer your question?

Hi Hsmith,
I have used the same steps as ESXi for VSCA appliance.
1. Created local account on server
2. Then from vMA server added the credentials entry to credential store successfully
3.Tested plugin
While plugin test I got below error
vi-admin@vMA server:~> ~/box293_check_vmware.pl --server <VSCA> --check Host_OS_Name_Version
Error connecting to server at 'https://<VSCA>/sdk/webService': Connection refused
Please advice. Thanks.

Did you type in the full command like below?
Code: Select all
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_by_ssh -E 1 -l vi-admin -H 192.168.1.231 -C "~/box293_check_vmware.pl --server 192.168.1.211 --check vCenter_Name_Version"

I am trying to test the connectivity from vMA host first. It is not happening. SO no use to check it from XI server

Using this account you created, can you login to the vSphere client using this account? If you cannot do this then the plugin is not going to work.
