Thank you.

What is the error that you are seeing in the wizard? A screenshot would be helpful.

Can you run the commands below and show the output?

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_esx3.pl -H <ip address> -u <username> -p <password> -l "VMFS"
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_esx3.pl -D <ip address> -u <username> -p <password> -l "VMFS"

Please obfuscate sensitive data.

HI,

It's return of the all datastores, I will edit the cmd later to get all datastore.

Thanks.

Sure. Let us know if you have any more questions.

What is difference of -D and -H that your mentioned. I use -D for another service e.g. mem, cpu it got the error.

[lmiltchev]

You use "-H" to specify ESX or ESXi hostname, and "-D" to specify datacenter hostname.

-H, --host=<hostname>
ESX or ESXi hostname.

-D, --datacenter=<DCname>
Datacenter hostname.

To view the full help menu (usage) of the plugin, run the following command from the command line:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_esx3.pl -h

Whether or not to use "-H" or "-D" would depend on the type of check that you are running.
