VMWare check_esx3 output

Hi,

I've recently updated the check_esx3 plugin (from 0.2 to 0.5) due to some well known errors.

Now the output of the service check says for example: "CHECK_ESX3.PL OK - cpu usage=1207.00 MHz (6.30%)"
instead of the nicer, previous look: "ESX3 OK - cpu usage=1207.00 MHz (6.30%)

Can I somehow correct this?

P.S.
When will the 0.5 plugin be a standard (my Nagios XI image is from this year)? Or when will the wizard start using the new check_vmware_api plugin?

If you want to shorten the output of the plugin, find the following line in the script and comment it out.

Code: Select all

shortname => uc($PROGNAME),
That worked for me.

I don't have any information if the plugin will be updated.

Is it ok if we lock this thread and mark the issue as resolved?
