ESX3 CRITICAL - HOST-VM IO Unknown error

We just installed Nagios XI and added our vcenter server and all of our guests are showing "Service State" as Critical. The status information shows "ESX3 CRITICAL - HOST-VM IO Unknown error".
vCenter isn't showing any issues with the hosts or the guests. Where do I start to troubleshoot this issue?
Thanks,

Try and upgrade the check_esx3.pl plugin to version 0.7.1 and see if that fixes the error.
First, login to the XI server as root and make a backup of the existing one by running the following.
Code: Select all
cp /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_esx3.pl /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_esx3.pl.old
Then run the following to install a required Perl Module for the new plugin.
Then download this updated plugin to your PC.
Code: Select all
https://github.com/shinken-monitoring/pack-vmware/blob/master/libexec/check_esx3.pl
After it is downloaded, login to the XI GUI and go to the Admin > Manage Plugins menu
Browse to the new plugin and then click on the Upload Button.
Wait for the next check to happen and see if the unknown error is gone.
