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.

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

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.
